How to stop receiving notifications for specific email conversations in Polymail

Last updated on 24 Oct, 2025

Email threads can get busy fast especially when you're copied into group conversations that don’t need your constant attention. That’s where Muting Conversations in Polymail comes in.

When you mute a conversation, you’ll no longer receive notifications for new replies on that thread. You’ll still have access to the messages, they just won’t interrupt your workflow.
