You cannot opt out of security and password-related emails. ::: ## Setting a default timezone for notification emails You can also set a global timezone in Buffer to ensure your email notifications are sent in your time zone. Setting a global timezone will also ensure that any new connected channels are set to that timezone. To find this setting: 1. Click your profile avatar in the bottom left of your dashboard 2. Choose ***Settings.*** 3. Click on ***Preferences*** on the left side of the page. 4. Click on the timezone that's listed and search for a city in your timezone and select it. ![Buffer - Account timezone settings-1](https://support.buffer.com/api/attachments.redirect?id=2f7e0446-e8fb-421e-8006-0307529f90ec " =2368x1278") ## Unsubscribing from all Buffer emails and notifications If you'd like to stop receiving all emails and notifications from Buffer at once, use the **Unsubscribe from all emails and notifications** toggle at the top of the Notifications settings page. When this toggle is on: * Every per-topic notification switch below is disabled and a warning notice appears explaining that the global unsubscribe overrides individual preferences. * All email and push notifications from Buffer are paused, apart from transactional emails (see note below). :::warning **Important:** Turning this toggle back off does **not** restore your previous topic selections. All topic switches will start off, and you'll need to re-enable each one you want. Transactional emails (payment failures, expiring cards, security, and password) will still be sent even with the global unsubscribe enabled. :::
