Mastodon sometimes may send you emails when certain things happen on your account. You can switch off these emails by doing the following:

1. Log in through your server’s website or through the web app
2. Click on ⚙️ Preferences (if you’re on the mobile website click ☰ in the bottom right corner and then ⚙️ Preferences)
3. Click Email Notifications on the left of the screen (if you’re on the mobile website click ☰ in the top right corner and then Email Notifications in the menu)
4. UN-tick all the boxes in the section marked Events for email notifications
5. Click the Save Changes button at the top of the screen

This won’t affect notifications you get within Mastodon itself, it just switches off the emails.

What if I want some of the email notifications to continue?

Just un-tick the boxes for the notifications you don’t want, and tick the boxes for the notifications you do want. When you’ve finished, click the Save changes button to confirm your choices.
