I am receiving too many email notifications!

There are a few reasons why our Residents may receive email notifications. If you find that you are receiving too many and would like to stop email notifications, please take the following steps!


IMs to E-mail

  • Log into secondlife.com.
  • On the left side, select Account.
  • In the menu that drops down, select Change Email Settings.
  • Deselect I would like to receive offline IMs via Email, and be sure to click Save changes.
  • You may also wish to select Unsubscribed in the Change Email Subscription Settings subheading.


Group Notices

All Group Notices

  • On the left side, select Account.
  • In the menu that drops down, select Change Email Settings.
  • Deselect I would like to receive offline Group Notices as Email, and be sure to click Save changes.

Individual Group Notices

  • In the viewer, choose Communicate > Groups (Ctrl+Shift+G) or right-click on your avatar and choose My Groups.
  • In the PEOPLE / MY GROUPS window, select the desired group. 
  • Click Group Profile or mouse over the group name and click profile icon.
  • Once the group profile window opens, in the General tab, deselect Receive Group Notices.
