The master switch does not lose your choices
The individual toggles keep their values while the master switch is off; they are only hidden. Switch it back on and the same set of emails resumes.
Notifications and emails
Two different things are called notifications here. The bell in the top bar collects what happened on the site; the Settings box decides which of it also reaches your inbox.
The bell and the notifications page
The bell in the top bar carries a count when something is waiting - unread messages, and for organizers things like new support requests or images missing their alt text. Following it opens the notifications page, which lists them in full and simply says there are no new notifications when nothing is pending.
The email toggles
- Enable email notification
- The master switch. With it off no notification email is sent at all, and the toggles below it are hidden rather than reset.
- General meetup announcements
- Announcements an organizer sends to the whole group.
- Updates from people I follow
- Activity from the people in your Following list - the same stream that fills My activities.
- When I receive a message
- An email when another member writes to you, so a message does not sit unread until your next visit.
- Event day reminder
- A reminder on the day of an event you said you would attend.
- Weekly upcoming events
- One digest a week of what is coming up.
- Updates to events I plan to attend
- An email when an event you RSVPed to changes - a new time, a new place, or a cancellation.
