Turn off a channel's ability to send email notifications to reduce the number of emails that subscribed users receive from a channel. When you enable this setting on a channel, users will only receive email notifications for @mentions, and comments on the content they are subscribed to. They will no longer receive email notifications from the channel about new, edited, deleted, or moved content.
