How to Stop Quora Emails (2026)

Stop Quora Digest and notification emails for good: the exact Quora settings to change, what you can't turn off, and how to catch anything that slips through.

Quora is one of the most common "why is this in my inbox every day?" senders. Most of it is the Quora Digest (a roundup of questions and answers Quora thinks you'll like), plus emails about upvotes, new followers, answers, and Spaces you follow.

The good news: nearly all of it can be switched off from one settings page. Here's how.

How to stop Quora emails (desktop)

Quora's help center says email types are controlled from Settings → Email & Notifications.

Sign in at quora.com.
Click your profile picture, then Settings.
Select Email & Notifications in the left-hand menu (or go straight to quora.com/settings/notifications).
Turn off every email type you don't want. The Digest has its own setting, separate from answer, upvote, and follower emails, so check the whole list.
If you follow Spaces, look for the Spaces section on the same page and turn off email for each Space you don't want to hear from.

How to stop Quora emails from an email

Most Quora notification and content emails include an Unsubscribe link at the bottom. According to Quora, that link opts you out of that email type only. It's fine for a quick fix, but if you want everything gone, use the settings page above.

What Quora won't let you turn off

Legally required notices, such as updates to Quora's Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, can't be unsubscribed from.
Space admin notifications. If you're an admin of a Space, Quora keeps sending you notices about it (member requests, moderation, updates). The fix, per Quora, is to remove yourself as an admin.
If you want no Quora email at all, Quora's official answer is to delete your account.

Block or filter Quora emails in Gmail or Outlook

If some Quora emails still get through, filter them in your email app so they skip your inbox:

Gmail: open a Quora email, click the three dots (More) at the top, and choose Filter messages like these. Click Create filter, then pick Skip the Inbox (Archive it) or Delete it.
Outlook: right-click a Quora email and choose Rules → Create rule to move messages from that sender to a folder. Or choose Block sender if you never want to see them. Blocking sends future messages to Junk.

A filter is better than blocking if some of the emails (receipts, security alerts) are ones you may need later.

Fixing Quora's settings takes care of one sender. If your inbox has dozens of senders like it, going through each settings page gets old fast. Inbox Zero's Bulk Unsubscribe puts all of them on one screen for Gmail and Outlook:

See every sender in one list. Newsletters and marketing emails are grouped by sender, with how many each one sends and how often you actually open them.
Unsubscribe in one click. Inbox Zero uses each sender's own unsubscribe mechanism, and you can select several senders at once. Select suggested picks out high-volume senders you rarely read.
Auto Archive what won't stop. For senders that keep emailing (like digest-style emails that keep coming back under new categories), Auto Archive files future emails out of your inbox automatically, optionally with a label, so they're there if you need them.
Clean up the backlog. Archive or delete old emails from a sender in bulk instead of scrolling through them.

For account notifications like Quora's, the settings above are still the most complete fix, because they stop the emails at the source. Inbox Zero covers everything else, and it's open source.

FAQ

How do I stop the Quora Digest email?

Go to Settings → Email & Notifications on Quora (quora.com/settings/notifications) and turn off the Digest. It's controlled separately from other notification types, so turning off answer or upvote emails won't stop it.

Why do I still get Quora emails after unsubscribing?

The unsubscribe link at the bottom of a Quora email only stops that one email type. Quora sends several types (Digest, answers, upvotes, followers, Spaces), so turn them all off from the Email & Notifications settings page. Space admin notices and legal notices can't be turned off.

Can I stop all Quora emails without deleting my account?

You can stop almost all of them from Settings → Email & Notifications. Legally required notices (like Terms of Service updates) will still come through. Quora says deleting your account is the only way to stop every email.
