Those emails are useless anyway because whenever I’m online to see the email, I’m also online to see the notification in Teams.

Since they don’t work reliably anyways, it’s a no brainer to disable them.

@electrineer "We have invested so much time and money into the servers and infrastructure to make this notification service possible. There is no fucking way that we won’t force it down the throat of our users by making it opt-in"
