If you receive a constant barrage of emails, it can become overwhelming, particularly if you’re involved in a busy Jira project. While these notifications serve the purpose of keeping you informed on project updates, they can also be a source of unnecessary disruption. The great news is that Jira offers the option to customize notification settings to better fit your needs. Follow this comprehensive guide on how to disable email notifications in Jira.

Step 1: Access Your Jira Account

First off, you need to access your Jira account. Simply open your preferred web browser, and navigate to your Jira site URL. Enter your login credentials (username and password) and click on Log In.

Step 2: Open Your Profile and Settings

Once logged in, click on your avatar (located at the bottom left corner) and select Profile and settings.

Step 3: Manage Your Preferences

In the Profile and Settings page, click on Preferences under the details category. This will open up a page where you can modify your email settings.

Step 4: Modify Your Email Notifications

Under the Preferences page, you will see a section labeled Email notifications. Click on the pencil icon next to it to edit your notification settings.

If you want to stop receiving all Jira email notifications, select the option Never.

Step 5: Save Your Preferences

After selecting your desired option, click on Save to apply the changes. Remember that you can always revert these changes by following the same steps.

In conclusion, Jira provides a flexible and user-friendly interface for managing email notifications. By following the above steps, you can easily stop receiving email notifications and keep your inbox clutter-free.
