How can I stop receiving email copies of forum posts?

Alongside your profile picture at the top right of your screen is a triangle that, when clicked, displays the User Menu. Click the User Menu icon, then select Preferences. On the next page click Forum Preferences, and then change the Forum auto-subscribe setting to “No: don’t automatically subscribe me to forums.” This will ensure that you do not become subscribed automatically to forums you post to. You can also change your Email Digest Type to Complete or Subjects. Selecting either option tells Moodle to send you one email with all of your Forum notifications, rather than one email for each Forum notification.

You can manage your subscriptions to individual forums by clicking on the gear menu within the appropriate forum and adjusting your settings from there.
