Notifications

Situation 1: Uhm, what message? I didn't get anything

Check Bugzilla email preferences and verify that at least you are notified "when someone asks me to set a flag" and "New comments are added".

Situation 2: I have 7580 pending bug mails and notifications

Maybe you should review your notification strategy. Our recommendation would be:

• Let's be honest, mark the 7580 notifications as read, you are not gonna make it any time soon, let's start from scratch.
• Go to Bugzilla component watch settings and remove yourself from places you really don't need to get every single comment or change.
• Now go to Bugzilla dashboard and check flags and open bugs that are still assigned to you.
• Take action!

Situation 3: I have too many emails in one folder
