Personal settings for email notifications not working

Francisco Guimaraes

My personal email settings are configured to only with "You're the assignee" and "Someone mentions you". However, I receive a lot of emails of issues that I worked in the past, but are not assigned to me now and issue I have never been assigned. Is there any other configuration that controls which emails are sent to me?

Hi Francisco,

It's probably because you were added to the card as a Watcher. There is a default to turn that on and off in the Settings > System > Default User Preferences

I think it is the one about autowatch. If you turn that off, that will help moving forward.

But for current issues, you either need to remove yourself as a watcher on those issues, or change the Notification Scheme for that project for watchers to not receive so many emails right now.
