Does archiving a user stop email notifications?

Hi,

As per the title we have a few users that are no longer on a project, however they have still been getting email notifications becuase they are either the owner or subscriber to a work item.

We will of course re-assign the work items, however in the short term, if we archive a user will they stop receiving notifications?

Thanks

I don't believe archiving a user stops email notifications. Assuming
that is correct, the simplest thing to do is probably to use the user
editor to modify that user's profile so they don't receive any email
notifications.

Cheers,
Geoff

I just created an enhancement request to change RTC's default behavior to prevent archived users from getting emails.

Enhancement 220654

IMHO, this should be the default behavior. You archive someone, they are tuned out automatically.

and the project admin should be told about workitems where the archived user is the owner.. (technically, you shouldn't be able to archive a user if the own something)

An archived user owning a work item that has been closed is not a problem. An archived user owning something that is actively used could be a problem, but often isn't. Owning something should not prevent a user from being archived.

 Remove the archived user from the projects. Works for us.
