Unsolicited emails on questions posted

Every since signing up with the new docs forum, I have been receiving emails for every question posted (because of tags I follow?); I never did request for that.

My current settings are

Mentions = enabled
Unanswered questions = disabled
Question's you've asked = enabled
Questions you've answered = enabled
Questions you've commented = enabled
Questions in tags you follow = disabled
Your feedback items = enabled
Feedback items you post commends on = enabled
Feedback in tags you follow = disabled
[Followed tags & user notifications] section = ALL never

Look at the email content, it might be [Questions in tags you follow], but clearly I've disabled that. Also, some questions only have tags that I do not follow, so ultimately it has to be something else trigger the notification emails. What other email/notification options are there separate from the user UI page?

In Settings -> Following, do you see tags as shown in attached? You can open them and unfollow if they are followed.

I only have [azure-active-directory] tag.

And this morning I got an email about a [not-supported] question. While a comment to my own (this) feedback yielded no notification email.

Almost feels like the check-boxes are in reverse mode.

@Sirlupinwatson , if you read my previous posts you'd know that I only have [azure-active-directory] tag as a follow.

And I have [Questions in tags you follow] disabled.

The behaviour does not match up.

@icelava Yes i know.

That is why i question myself.

We should have a separate section with members where we could explore more but well its on going i think .

So a few months have gone by and I have not been receiving emails from tags I never followed. But I haven't gotten anything even from tags I follow, in fact.

When I check my Following list, it shows up blank even though I am following a few tags.

Looks like the problem has reverse to the opposite direction.

@VamsiMind-1076 can you check if this is still an issue or maybe we can close this? Thank you.
