I recently spent a week without access to voicemail or email. Once I got back, my inbox was so stuffed that it exceeded my employer's space limits. I spend  hours deleting just to get back under the limit so I could send new messages. Long way to say I understand why some members of this community might want an alternative to email notification of new content.

Luckily, there is one: RSS feeds. You can subscribe to the feed for a whole community, a particular discussion, a blog, or a collection of documents. And it's easy: Simply click View feeds under Notifications in the Actions box, then click on the link of the feed you want.

For a few additional details, read How to use the RSS feeds.
