The same happens to me, each time I open a mail I sent, it creates a notification in the app

Hi @NicoEsp and @jkullar,

I would recommend going through the steps [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/email-notifications/block-ip-address) to block your IP addresses, as this will prevent this going forward.

Thank you,  
Jenny
