Sick of getting an email for every single award I hand out

[FRUIT PUNCH]

I can't very well block those emails or mark them as spam because I don't want the potential account hijinks to roll me over, so I'm stuck enduring the spam instead.

Can we not?

Edit:
The current answer is to set a filter in one's own email settings. I'd mark it as the answer, but I'm the one who posted it, so Steam won't let me.

"help" button up top left of steam app, click on "steam support" in drop down menu.

click "my account", then "data related to your account".

scroll down to "store" list and click on "email preferences".

change settings and disable what you dont want, by checking "send me an email when", unchecking what you dont want.

then in my case i checked the "opt out" selection after doing the above, because simply opting out, doesnt stop them.


you can see various useful or interesting things, in your account data


edit: thanks for the points.

You can't stop emails from awards you GIVE. You can stop emails for ones you receive.

You have to "Opt out of all email marketing communication."

Which means you get no marketing emails at all.

well, then they dont have too, its clearly their choice and im not demanding them to do anything, i simply gave info for the OP, who wanted help too stop the steam email spam.

as mentioned when i used "in my case".

that being said, i dont need to have all that spam nonsense, when i can see all of this on the client without using the email.

thats the whole reason for notifications and steam news icon.

I actually don't mind receiving emails about awards I receive once in a while - or really most of the other things in there - but there's literally no option to stop emails for awards I hand out.

the "opt out" selection does that, but, i think people need to suggest, that steam adds it into "opt in" selection (dont receive emails for awards i give).

but in any case, choose what you dont want.

anywho, have fun with less spam, as well as have fun gaming and a nice day

I haven't unchecked anything. The other emails have been fine.

awful isn't it?
I ended up setting a "filter" in my email client to bin them immediately.

Matches: from:([e-mail]) award
Do this: Mark as read, Delete it

but I agree with your suggestion, to have an option in steam to specifically not send emails about awards I've given out.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this sooner, but I've gone ahead and added a filter rule to my email settings so that "You've given a" in the subject line gets thrown in the trash. It's still dumb that I'd have to do that, though.

One of the potential reasons is it can be a warning sign of your account being hijacked and the hijacker using your points up.
