NAME="accountsettings"
>6.10.1. Account Settings</A

><P
>On this tab, you can change your basic account information,

reasons, in order to change anything on this page you must type your
<EM
>current</EM
>
password into the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Password"</SPAN
>
field at the top of the page.
If you attempt to change your email address, a confirmation
email is sent to both the old and new addresses, with a link to use to
confirm the change. This helps to prevent account hijacking.</P

</P
><P
> The first item on this page is marked <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Users to watch"</SPAN
>.
When you enter one or more comma-delineated user accounts (usually email
addresses) into the text entry box, you will receive a copy of all the
bugmail those users are sent (security settings permitting).
This powerful functionality enables seamless transitions as developers
change projects or users go on holiday.

to receive bugmail; then decide if you want to receive it all
the time (enable the checkbox for every column), or only when
you have a certain relationship with a bug (enable the checkbox
only for those columns). For example: if you didn't want to
receive mail when someone added themselves to the CC list, you
could uncheck all the boxes in the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"CC Field Changes"</SPAN

line. As another example, if you never wanted to receive email
on bugs you reported unless the bug was resolved, you would
un-check all boxes in the <SPAN
