   2. Set your email delivery preferences. Once you are in the Community, select the Settings button and set your Email Notifications.You may choose:
      • Real time: sends an email every time a new message is posted.
      • Daily digest: sends one email to you each day, consolidating all of the posts from the
        previous day.
      • No Email: allows you to be part of the group without having emails sent to you. You can still post and read others’ messages by logging into the community site.

   We recommend the Daily Digest, as it allows you to follow the discussions without bombarding you with emails.
