There are 2 tools that provide forum emails:

1. Individual Subscriptions of forum activity received immediately.
2. Digests delivered daily, weekly or monthly.

NOTE: that these 2 forum email options are separate, so configure them both if you want BOTH individual real-time subscriptions and a periodic digest.
