How to completely disable email notifications in Confluence?

[Aaron Zingerle]

I have disabled all email toggles in my Confluence settings.

But I still get E-Mail notifications when someone makes edits to a document.

What do I have to change to completely disable E-Mail notifications?

Hi @Aaron Zingerle ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

You can't disable all notification email per user basis. Using preferences, you can customize just some type of notification but you wil continue to receive notification for edit, mention, comment and so on.

I would like to get these types of notifications only via Slack. And don't get any E-Mails at all.

Is there already a feature request for that? To disable all E-Mail notifications in the settings? If not, can we open one?

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

You can disable all the notification email for all users but not for a specific one.

If you disable E-Mail notifications for all users. Can individual users still opt-in for E-Mail notifications?

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

no, disabling notification impacts all users and they are not able to change their own settings.

Hi Aaron,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Could it be that you're still watching certain pages? You can check this under the Watches tab.

Cheers,

Yeah, I am watching some spaces/pages.

I want to continue getting Slack notifications, but I don't want to get any  E-Mail notifications.

If you still want the Slack notifications I don't think there is a solution in Confluence. 

You could of course just create a filter in your email client and filter out all Confluence emails directly to your archive/trash. That would give you the same result.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, to just set the Confluence sender E-Mail address as spam.

But that would be a hacky way. I would prefer to have a clean solution.

In that case I would suggest that you raise a suggestion/feature request here: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa
