Sometimes when I no longer want to get email notifications of new posts in a thread I've been following, and I unclick the "Email tracking-This topic- All posts" box at the right, and save, it doesn't work and I still keep getting the email notifications.

Yes - but I do occasionally get emails about jobs, and personal contacts through my Proz profile. Plus queries etc from other Proz users via the Proz emailing system and kudoz questions.
