**As a** project member
**I want to** able to configure settings for my daily email reminders and weekly email recaps
**so that** I get the most relevant emails that are not redundant with the notifications I am already receiving via Notification Center

**Note and Scope** 
This work package is related to <mention class="mention" data-id="38671" data-type="work_package" data-text="#38671">#38671</mention> , which defines notification settings at a user-account level.

There were discussions around adding more options in the first section &quot;Send me an email reminder&quot; to open up email reminders to other events. This is out of scope for this work package, but we can certainly discuss it further before implementing.
