I'd like to change the number of emails Moodle sends me

This refers to Moodle 2.6 from September 2014 onwards

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you read emails with subject line Moodle.Nottingham: Forum Digest

Changing the way Moodle sends you emails

You can choose to receive emails as soon as they are sent out by Moodle (e.g., through the News / announcements forum of a module you have a role in)

Getting one email at a time is useful because

• each email has a helpful subject line including the module it has come form
• it is clear which staff member is sending the message

OR you can change to digest mode - only one email a day, in a digest.

• This is useful because you only get one email a day
• Warning: as the header is Moodle.Nottingham: Forum Digest you may not see it as important (always read such emails)
• The emails from News / Announcements are mixed in with emails from other forums and you may have to read carefully to pick out the important messages
• It only comes once a day (around 5-5.30 pm) so any messages which require immediate action may be received too late (e.g., last minute cancellation of a lecture)

An alternative way to manage emails from Moodle is to use "no digest" and then use your filters in Outllook to sweep emails into a particular folder (don't forget to read them!)

To change email mode:

1. Go to My home
2. Under Administration > My profile settings click Edit profile
3. Next to Email digest type select "Complete (daily email with full posts)" or "Subjects (daily email with subjects only)"
   OR
   Select No digest (single email per forum post)
4. Click Update profile which is at the bottom of the page (not shown in screenshot)
