How to receive email only when my own questions are answered or commented and not every time

Hi,

I only want to receive notifications for my own questions, not for any questions I follow. I didn't find this in emails preferences in settings so I turned all of them to OFF. Maybe there is a setting I overlooked?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Click on your avatar at the top right > Settings > scroll down to Q&A preferences > Follow email notifications and toggle off the desired settings.

    Also, scroll down to Q&A follow preferences and uncheck the desired boxes except for "Follow questions you've asked".
