Thank you John. I’ve made the change as you suggested. Not sure why I wasn’t able to read the title of each item under the general pane. I needed to have a sighted person tell me which one was the notification item. VoiceOver only said “inbox only”. I only heard the actual setting, and not what they referred to.
