+Use the member actions drop-down menu to set a member’s email preference to “All mails,” “Digest” or “None” and press GO. Note that "none" means no post emails. In FC3 there is a fourth option, "Never receive emails" which eliminates more types of emails. This new email setting is not currently available for moderators to change.
