Notifications on two mailboxes

Question

Body

I have two mailboxes bounded to the account. One is marked as primary and for notifications. The second is only "Visible in emails". But GitHub sends me same notifications on both of my emails. Is it by design?

Is your second address possibly marked as the "backup email address"? In that case getting notifications there too would be expected.

[bergentroll]

Well, I've switched "Backup email address" setting from "Allow all verified emails" to "Only allow primary email", but there is still double notifications.

[airtower-luna]

That's odd then. 😅

[bergentroll]

It seems, it is now only for «system» notifications like password changes. No second message for a notification on this thread.

[airtower-luna]

That's actually what I would've expected with the "backup" setting, peculiar.
