Where should the web site go - what should we do? Who has the time between rows?

Email notifications - help needed

Post by Paul Victory »

I currently get email notifications whenever there is a posting on a thread to which I've posted. While this is helpful when I'm at home, it clutter sup my inbox when I'm away as I have to access my inbox remotely using mail2web. I can delete items in my mailbox, but it can be risky doing this as the wrong items get deleted if a new mail arrives between the time I choose which items to delete and when the delete takes place (can be a minute or two depending on the speed of the connection).

I presume there is some way that I can turn of notifications while I'm away. Alternatively, if someone can suggest an alternative means of accessing my email while I'm away? I know I could use something like gmail, but lots of people have my existing email address and I don't want to have to change it. I also prefer the functionality I get from using Outlook.

Thanks

I believe if you go to your user control panel - board preferences tab...

Edit posting defaults

Set "Notify me upon replies by default:" to NO

Thanks Huw

I've changed that. Hope I remember to change it back when I get back from Portugal. :roll:
