How to turn off IMDb Update Receipt e-mails
Recently I started getting IMDb Update Receipts being sent to my e-mail, which is a new occurrence. Unfortunately, all this does is clog up my inbox. The exact same information is already tracked in the Update History (and Update History Beta) with better information. I neither need nor want a receipt emailed to me.
How can I stop or disable this?
As a prolific contributor with a Gold Lifetime Contributor badge, and 10+ years as a Top Contributor, I really don't want to have to block IMDb as spam, but I also don't want to have to delete thousands of emails a month either.

Hi @thebluetuna -
Thanks for being a valued top contributor with us for so many years (10+ years is impressive!) Currently, we don't support the option to disable Contribution Confirmation email notifications, so there is no opt-out option.
If you feel your inbox is being clogged with these submission confirmations, if you aren't doing so already, you may want to consider creating a rule within your mail server (if possible) that moves any email from IMDb to a folder separate from your inbox, you could then periodically clear out this folder and not worry about them clogging your primary inbox.
In the meantime, if you feel like this type of opt-out option would be beneficial to other IMDb site contributors, you can post an Idea thread in this community to request this option, this way other community members can comment and vote on it and IMDb staff can monitor for interest.
