I agree, but given that it is happening I suspect that is basically the only way to handle it. You can do it in a different data file. These alerts seem to be at the Quicken Id/cloud account level so they will apply to all Express Web Connect accounts using QCS or Quicken Web/Mobile for all data files using that Quicken Id.

So you can create a new data file connected to your Quicken Id and sync to Web/Mobile, and create one manual entry account. Then you can go to the preferences and change the email settings for the Quicken Quicken Id/cloud account.

P.S. Just another quirk of them using QCS for Express Web Connect. In my first post it was so unexpected I didn't even think that it was connected, and thought like others the email was coming from the financial institution.

If your account is setup for Express Web Connect, that method downloads transactions nightly. The only way to turn that off is to stop using Express Web Connect for downloading your transactions:

How can i turn off the emails saying large transaction, or adjust the amount.

Those emails are probably coming from your bank, not from Quicken. If you believe they're actually coming from Quicken, post one here with headers intact, obscuring your personal information.

Do not have mobile or web setup, so can not change settings. Should not have to setup mobile or web to change settings.

Try chat again or call on Monday. Otherwise, perhaps a moderator will happen up on this discussion and be able to tweak your Cloud Account appropriately for you.

I suspect this issue may be related to the recent switch to QCS.
