When you sign into myFolio, you will see a message about the new Community Posts Email Digest.

Here is what the digest email looks like.  It will have a count of posts per theme, as well as a list of  the topics of posts for the week.

If you have dismissed the banner and would like to subscribe to the digest, you can do that from the Manage Email Preferences page.  To reach the page, click the gear icon in the top menu.

Then click Email Preferences to reach the Manage Email Preferences page.
