Turning Off Extraneous Emails from Twitter
Twitter introduced new email options this week that send emails every time you are mentioned (or replied to) and when your tweets are retweeted or marked as a favorite. I can see where newcomers to Twitter would find these settings useful but many veterans are already getting these notifications elsewhere. Many Twitter clients (I use TweetDeck) offer similar notifications within their software. Here’s how to turn these options off:
- Log into your Twitter account via Twitter’s web page.
- Go to your settings by selecting the Settings choice from the menu that drops down when you click your username on the top right of the page.
- Click the Notifications tab.
- In the Messages section of the page uncheck “I’m sent a reply or mentioned”.
- In the Activity section uncheck “My Tweets are marked as favorites” and “My Tweets are retweeted”.
- Click the Save button.
Nice and easy. While you’re doing this you may want to check your other notifications too. If you don’t want to get an email ever time you get a new followed or direct message this is where you’d change that.
