Tired of your inbox being flooded with Quora new follow notifications? Here’s how to stop ’em.

Login at Quora.com. Click on “Settings” in the upper-right nav bar.

On the Settings page, look for the section on the left called “Email Settings.” Expand each area by clicking on the blue “view settings” link next to it, and uncheck everything for which you don’t want to be emailed. (There are lots of boxes to uncheck, needless to say.) Make sure you click Save when done.

All of the auto-follows aren’t a best practice, needless to say; nor is the automatic population of email notifications. Both should require affirmative user consent. But unless and until Quora rights those wrongs, this should help stem the tide.

Of course, you could also just delete your Quora account altogether… I haven’t taken that step yet, myself, but may get there soon.
