Is it possible to set specific categories for which I can get a daily digest email ?
I went to my preferences and activated the "When I don't visit here, send an email digest of what's new: daily" checkbox.
Do I know get a daily digest email for new posts in all categories ? Can I specify to get it only for some categories and not for others?
How does this setting relate to the notifcations settings in the categories/posts ("Regular", "Watching", "Tracking", "Muted") ?

Hi Umit,
I believe [this article](https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-notification-settings-per-category/21346) from the Discourse team will be of help to you. If that does not solve your problem, just reply back to this thread and we'll hunt down more information.

Hi,
I have an issue with this as well. Currently I have these settings: [http://monosnap.com/image/ynJmrZgT8LNiJWlvNbInKGMW1mOijD.png](http://monosnap.com/image/ynJmrZgT8LNiJWlvNbInKGMW1mOijD.png)
However, I do not get digest emails as I asked for, instead I get every post mailed to me directly. On the old mailing list (google groups) I configured to get a daily email with the topics discussed that day for Elasticsearch, how would I need to configure discuss to work the same?
I tried multiple things;
1. **tracking instead of watching:** no emails at all
2. **watching** : email per post instead of a digest, although having "When I don't visit here, send an email digest of what's new" set to daily
3. **Do not suppress email notification when I am active on the site**
But nothing of any combination I tried resulting in receiving daily digests. Any ideas on how to proceed?

Hi,
I have the same problem and the same settings in my preferences but it is not working. This is very annoying and at least for me a step back compared with the google groups.
