Email Notificatin of Gallery Items

[Rusty]

Yesterday I got 23 emails saying there are new gallery items approved.  Is there a way to turn this off?

Thanks

I'm still getting them even though I put then in the spam section of my lap top.

 I posted this in another topic by mistake.
  This is the correct one.

Yes… and no.  Depending on factors such as which app you are using to access your email and who your email provider is, you may have many features ranging from simple to very advanced.  If you have accessed to rules-based-actions you can create a rule that moves certain incoming messages to a folder (junk, spam, trash, or a folder with a custom name like “Gallery Approvals I Probably Don’t Care About” or “Stuff Moved By A Rule That I Should Probably Review Once A Month And Then Delete”).  You can set up a simple one-stage rule such as “if the subject contains the phrase {Gallery New Item Waiting For Approval} move the message to the Trash folder”.  After you activate the rule you will never see those messages again (unless for some odd reason Sparky changes the wording coming out of his server).  If you want to do it a little differently / carefully or maybe use the same trick for other pesky emails you can do a two-stage (2 criteria?) rule which says:
Mostly the same as the rule above
IF a message comes in from the sender “Sparkyfl@charter.com”
AND if the subject contains the phrase {Gallery New Item Waiting For Approval}
THEN move the message to the Trash folder”.
If you have access to rules in this manner you can set up all kinds of different criteria to slim down your inbox and it’s not really hard to do, but it may be a little difficult to FIND the feature in the first place.  Google or DuckDuckGo is your friend.  Type in a query such as “I’m using Hotmail for my email server and Thunderbird for my email client how do I create a rule”.  It shouldn’t take much reading to figure out whether or not your server/client combo support rules and also where to go to “click” to get started.

That’s a lot of words but I hope it helps someone.  Please let me know if it does.

This message is not spam or a scam. The message is to let you know someone has posted a new image in the gallery. If you are the first to view it you can approve it. If you're not first it lets you know where to see it.

  I mentioned in the other thread that I got 13 or 14 over the last two  days with most of them coming at one time yesterday evening. After the last go around, i knew what it was this time but looked like the computer hickuped! And they were all for "King Cobra", just like the ones a few weeks ago were. Before these two episodes, I have never had a notice like this before, and I've been here since the beginning I think.
  Type at you later,

Well it seems the jerk does this about every month or so.  So I just blow them away.
