Getting Only New Threads by Email Notification

[Former Member]

I am a member of ABAP Development.  I saw "Receive email notifications ".  I clicked on it and was deluged.  What I think I would really like is a way to be notified if a new thread is started.

Anyone have any thoughts on how that might be achieved?

Since the SCN developers refereed me to this site:

Can you please submit this idea to Idea place:

https://ideas.sap.com/ct/s.bix?c=8A060447-ED55-41EB-905E-C077161D66AC#/?ideaView=5515&stageFilter=1&...

>>>

I'm waiting to see how it works out however.

So,

My idea was created as:

https://ideaplace.brightidea.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=8A060447-ED55-41EB-905E-C077161D66AC&idea_i...

If this idea interests you, please go there and give it an UP.  If you think it is stupid, you can give it a DOWN...  I really won't take offense.  While you are there, you can also see what else seems interesting.

I followed your link, and got an error message about it being an invalid idea ID, (try saying that 10 times )

Thanks

Just click the login hyperlink on top in the middle. the Single Sign On does not work there.

This link should work: https://ideas.sap.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=8A060447-ED55-41EB-905E-C077161D66AC&idea_id=F6DF449A-...

Thanks Jurgen (and congrats on your Moderator spotlight article).

I could see the idea fine once I logged into Idea Place.

It's not possible, as Thomas said. There are RSS feeds: see the link in the Actions box. There's a feed for discussions (ie new discussions) and another for discussion messages (replies).

This would be a nice feature, but I'm not aware that this is currently possible.

I once had a workaround (in Gmail) by assigning tags based on the subject lines. If it does not start with "Re:", you are (quite likely) looking at a new discussion. Using similar logic in your mail client, you might be able to send mails from SCN starting with "Re:" straight to the trash bin, only keeping the new discussions.

Not very robust, but might work to some extent

Thanks Thomas,

I'll look into it.  I'll also hope that they will consider adding the feature!

Actually, thinking about it, that would kill the ones I'm following, so not so good, but worth thinking about anyway.

That's another downside, you cannot really distinguish the mails you receive for followed spaces and followed people.

Well, the trash bin is the hard way, you could also store them under a different tag or in a separate folder.
