So I went to accounts and turned off all but one of the get emails items. (I left in webinars so I got the pre-webinar start warnings – a memory booster!)
Figure 1 is the first step in this process. Go to the accounts settings on the opening screen. Then go down to Email Notification Settings. You can see I didn’t say NO but left the YES and Webinars ticked so I get the Webinar notifications in my home email.
The coloured box legend shows where all my activities and notifications are shown now.

This got lumped in my ' too much to read ' category. Since both Keith and I comment on stuff at WA we forward all emails away from us to our junk account in a special category there. So for the most part we don't see them. We are too busy to live in WA so we just get to them when they can. When I left WA a while ago i deleted nearly 9000 emails.

Now I don't need to delete any of them. The activities stay in the list and the notifications disappear when read. And I can make my mind up when I do the reading and my email account is not filling up. Except for the drongo FBers who insist on telling me everything they do. Don't read these but it takes a bit of time to sort out. Unfortunately one is my brother so I need to be a bit tactful about letting him know I don't want so many. Actually I am not being tactful. I just disagree with most things he says. Hopefully he will get the message.

Thanks Helen I have seen activities and notifications and now I know what they are for.

That was my original problem so I ignored them. I am sure glad I decided to tackle them.

Basically I only get the Webinar announcements and reminders by email. A piece of cake to control.
