Set email preferences to specify how you want to receive notifications in IBM Connections.

About this task

You can control how and when you receive email notifications by setting preferences on the E-mail Preferences tab. You can enable or disable notification emails from other users, set the language that you want to receive notifications in, and specify what email address you want them sent to.

When you enable email notifications, you can select whether to be notified about different types of content, and also specify how often you want to receive notifications.
