You can shut off any and all email correspondence from NaNoWriMo. To do so, first sign in to the site.
If you are getting hundreds of automatically generated emails about threads in the forums, you likely accidentally "subscribed" to these threads. To fix this, just:
- Click Edit Profile at the top of the site
- Click the Subscription tab (it's to the right of the View and Edit tabs)
- Unsubscribe to any active thread under the "Threads" sub-tab
- Un-click any of the forums you may be subscribed to under the "Categories" sub-tab
- To keep this from happening again make sure the box that says "Autosubscribe" is not selected.
If you would like to stop receiving emails from Headquarters, such as the weekly peptalks:
- Go to Edit Profile -> Account Settings and check the "No NaNoWriMo Emails" box.
If you would like to stop receiving NaNoMail, which is the Private Message system built into the NaNoWriMo site:
- Go to Edit Profile -> Account Settings and uncheck the "Allow private messages" box
If you would like to stop receiving Regional emails from your area's Municipal Liaison:
- Either unaffiliate from your region (Edit Profile -> My Region -> Region Settings -> unsubscribe from this group). Or, under Edit Profile -> Account Settings check the box marked "Never send email notifications".
