Participating in the ACRP Online Community does NOT mean you will be inundated with tons of emails.
There are several options available to ensure you receive only the Community-related emails you want, when you want them, and where you want them.
My Subscriptions
Use the 'My Subscriptions' link under the 'Discussions' tab to customize your eForum-related emails.
The 'PDA' and 'Real-Time' subscription options will keep you immediately up to date with eForum posts, but these options could lead to more emails than you desire dependent upon eForum activity. If you only want to receive one email per day from an eForum, choose the 'Daily Digest' option.
Use the 'No Emails' subscription option of you don't want to receive emails but you still want to be able to read eForum discussions online.
My Preferences
You can also prevent emails sent to your Community inbox from being forwarded to your personal or business email address utilizing the 'My Preferences' page under the 'My Profile' tab.
On the 'My Preferences' page, there are several options for controlling "notifications," which are emails sent to your personal or business email address when you receive Community emails, group invitations and contact requests. You can disable these "notifications" completely by setting the Global Notification to off; though it should be noted that you will need to log in the Online Community if you want to stay up to date with contact requests, community messages, etc.
The 'My Preferences' page also gives you the option of forwarding - or not forwarding - these "notifications" to your personal or business email address on a case-by-case basis. If you don't want Community emails forwarded from your Community inbox to your personal or business email address, select the "Do Not Forward" option next to Regular Messages. If you still want to receive contact request notifications, however, you can set that option to "Forward Immediately."
Whether, and how, you receive community emails is completely up to you. Remember, these options are all available at 'My Subscriptions' and 'My Preferences.'
