I accidentally clicked on something in here (forum) and started to get mail about many topics I never signed up for.
Yesterday I un-followed everything, but still get mail regarding various topics - weird.
Then I noticed that in my account profile I am signed up for hundreds of topics in 'email settings', and I apparently have to 'disable' every single one - one at a time.
There have to be some way to 'bulk' disable these without closing profile and starting over with a new profile. Help please.

Hi @Egmund
It looks like you have disabled them all, but are going to get subscriptions for any new topics which you may not want.
Go to the bottom of a screen within a topic within the particular category you are subscribed to and look for this link. Click it.
I have raised an issue about this as it would be good to make it easier for people to both follow a forum category and unfollow a forum category.
I did this already - and kept receiving mail anyway.
'By accident' I saw in my profile a long list of topics I somehow have 'accumulated' in 'email settings'.
It is the 'email settings' in my profile I am talking about. No way of disabling them all, so it seems I have to disable them one at a time - ridiculous.
I've checked and you are only subscribed to this topic at the moment. I will update the ticket. I think what is happening is:
If we can't easily change that behaviour, then what we probably need is Views Bulk Operations to bulk unfollow subscribed topics.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Thank you for clarifications.
I just checked my profile and now all are 'disabled' as well. Apparently there is a lag of about 24 hours between Forum Topics and Profile Email.
