Confluence Update E-Mails

[Lloyd Kinsella]

How do I turn off update e-mails globally? Currently we get e-mail alerts whenver anything changes in the wiki.

Now I know I can alter settings to some extent per user, but I'd like to just switch the whole thing off, only

I can't find where?

To prevent emails from being sent altogether, you could just remove any configured mail server. See http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+Server+for+Outgoing+Mail

I had thought about that BUT I don't think that's a solution, won't it also stop things like "Forgot Password" from also working?

Interesting, I was trying to find the same thing over the weekend (without success). My need was testing for a confluence upgrade, where the production configuration/data was moved to a test machine - i wanted to be sure that no email notifcations were sent to end users during testing.
