# Configure message notification emails
Zulip can be configured to send message notification emails for [PMs
and mentions](/help/pm-mention-alert-notifications), as well as
[stream messages](/help/stream-notifications).
You can [respond to Zulip messages directly][reply-from-email] by replying to message
notification emails, unless you are
connecting to a self-hosted Zulip server whose system administrator
has not configured the [incoming email gateway][incoming-email-gateway].
[incoming-email-gateway]: https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production/email-gateway.html
## Delay before sending emails
To reduce the number of emails you receive, Zulip
delays sending message notification emails for a configurable period
of time (default: 2 minutes). The delay
helps in a few ways:
* No email is sent if you return to Zulip and read the message before
the email would go out.
* Edits made by the sender soon after sending a message will be
reflected in the email.
* Multiple messages in the same Zulip conversation are combined into
a single email. (Different conversations will always be
in separate emails, so that you can
[respond directly from your email][reply-from-email]).
[reply-from-email]: /help/using-zulip-via-email
To configure the delay for message notification emails:
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|notifications}
1. Under **Other notification settings**, select the desired time period from the
**Delay before sending message notification emails** dropdown.
