Email notification change not working

Thread needs solution

I set up email notifications for my backups and they worked as expected. However, when I turned off the notifications, I continued to receive them. I checked and saw that despite saving the changes, they were still unsaved when I went to look again.

I'm running True Image 2015 for PC, Build 6613.

This is either a bug or intentional. The same problem exists in 2016-beta.

I ran a quick test.
Editing the task script file and removing the email notiify settings is not effective.
The notify data edited from the script file is returned to the script file--probably by the history file.
If you wish to continue using the task, you are stuck with the notifications.

You can use the task clone settings and clone the task and start over using the clone.
Just be sure and rename the cloned task and change the folder name on the new task,
and stop using the old task.

I can't imagine why it would be intentional, so I shall assume it's a bug. Fortunately, it's not inhibiting the system.

I tried cloning the task settings and the notification was cloned as well. Removing it didn't stay removed, i.e. it was just the same as the original. This is piss-poor programming.
