Why do I get team update emails about old updates and ones I made myself?

I keep getting 'your team is working on these pages--join the conversation' emails.  Most of the items listed are ones I have updated myself.  The first one on today's email was one last updated in May, and it is now July. 

Can I limit the emails I get to only updates from other people, and only ones made since the last email?

Hi @erik-foxcroft ,

On your confluence instance, Go to Profile --> Personal setting --> Email. make the necessary  modifications to reduce the emails.

I have had a look through those settings. The only things I can see which might be causing this are 'Autowatch' and 'Recommended updates', but I would have hoped these would be smart enough only give me recent changes and only ones made by others.

I will try turning one of them off at a time and see what happens

@erik-foxcroft I think these emails are related to this setting:

Is this selected in your email settings? If so, clearing the checkbox should stop these emails.

It was selected, I have tried de-selecting it.

The thing is, I want to be notified of any edits anyone makes or new articles they add, but all I am getting at the moment is stuff about edits I made myself months ago.

If nobody has made any changes since the last email, I don't need a new one.

If you know how to achieve that I would be grateful
