How to stop Twitter emails on your computer
1. Log on to Twitter and go to your homepage. Click on your profile picture.
2. Click on More at the bottom of the menu on the left. Don't click on Notifications in this first menu - that will take you to notifications from Twitter but won't let you turn off email notifications.
3. Choose Settings and privacy from the menu that pops up.
4. Click Notifications. A Notifications menu appears on the right.

7. If you want to take a more nuanced approach, leave Email notifications on and check the boxes below to be more selective about what emails you get and how often they arrive.
8. Note that, if you have more than one Twitter account, you'll need to repeat this for each profile to get rid of all Twitter emails.
You can also regulate your SMS notifications under Notifications > Preferences.
Another way to stop Twitter emails is to hit the Unsubscribe button at the bottom of an email from Twitter. But this will only unsubscribe you from emails of Top Tweets and Stories, not all Twitter notifications.
