## Email Me When Someone

Be choosy about your personal email settings. Make selections that help you stay on top of important discussions without becoming overwhelmed by too much email.

## Set Frequency for Personal Digest

  
| Option | Recommended | Recommendations and Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Daily | ![Checkmark](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/checkmark_16x16.png) | Daily digests include the 50 latest posts from the previous day and the three latest comments on each post. |
| Weekly |   | Weekly digests include the 50 latest posts from the week and the three latest comments on each post. |
| Limited |   | Limited means less than weekly. If you’re selective about the options in the “Email me when someone” section, try Limited to reduce your number of personal digests. |

Personal digests aren’t supported in communities.

## Set Default Frequency for Groups I Join

Changing the default frequency for groups you join doesn’t affect the groups you already belong to.

  
| Option | Recommended | Recommendations and Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Email on every post |   | In communities, the Email on every post option is disabled after more than 10,000 members choose this setting for the group. All members who had this option selected are automatically switched to Daily digests. |
| Daily digests |   | Daily digests include the 50 latest posts from the previous day and the three latest comments on each post. |
| Weekly digests |   | Weekly digests include the 50 latest posts from the week and the three latest comments on each post. |
| Limited | ![Checkmark](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/checkmark_16x16.png) | Limited means less than weekly. Keep this default setting for all new groups. You can change to more frequent notifications for groups that you expect to monitor and contribute to actively. If your org has the **Send announcement emails** permission enabled, you still receive some Group emails. |

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/images/icon_note.png)

Note Users can choose the notification frequency after they start following a group, or an admin can set the frequency for all users using Data Loader. For more information about using Data Loader to change email frequency, see [Set the default group notification email and its frequency via Data Loader](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000315501&type=1&language=en_US).
