I once changed all my notifications in Phabricator to _NOT_ be email but
just browser based. I love it that way. I dislike email and don't want to
manage it
and instead my workflow is just that i actively go to Phabricator to check
it in the morning and click on my notifications right there in the browser
window without
switching medium.  Recommending it. Same for Gerrit as well.

Just now i can't find the setting anymore and "Notifications" is all about
_realtime_ notifications and that was turned off. I don't want pop-ups in
realtime that would interrupt, i like to actively check and read them
together at a time i pick.. and that still works  fine for me as it is..
and doesn't involve email.
