Summary0024288: Change email defaults to not send me an email after I make an update
Description

I do not want to receive email notifications for changes I have made;
Per the guide "https://mantisbt.org/docs/master/en-US/Admin_Guide/html-desktop/" and search for g_email_receive_own you will find the following explanation:
$g_email_receive_own
This defines whether users should receive emails for their own actions. This option is defaulted to OFF, hence, users do not receive email notification for their own actions. This can be a source for confusions for users upgrading from MantisBT 0.17.x versions, since in these versions users used to get notified of their own actions.

As I dont find any interface to disable $g_email_receive_own in MantisBT(my version 2.5.1), Could you help to confirm the following two questions:
1, if MantisBT provide interface(like a configuration button in manage page) to disable the $g_email_receive_own;
2, if MantisBT provide interface that each user can disable the $g_email_receive_own by themself ; because not all of the people would like to disable this email notification for their own update;

please let me know if there is anything unclear and looking forward your response;

Thanks,
Fei

Known feature request, see 0006372
You have to change the setting in config_inc.php at the moment

Hi Atrol,

Thanks for your prompt reply;
item 1 make sense;
and for the question2, in the account_prefs_page.php, when we disable the "E-mail on Note Added"(please see the attached file), then all the notes even added by other ones won't send email notification to me, but what I want is just to ignore the notification for these notes I added by myself;

Does Mantis have any way to support this feature?

Thanks,
Fei

Not out of the box.

You could also implement your own notification rules by writing a plugin.
E.g. there is EVENT_NOTIFY_USER_EXCLUDE to remove users from distribution list.

There is also some work in progress to allow plugins even more influence of notifications.
