Hi Gary
Alerts are able to be prevented being emailed by each user by selecting your name in upper right corner and select email Notifications and untick email me about alerts.
This is an all or nothing setting though so they won't get any alerts emailed but they will be viewable on your dashboard. Finer control of this would be good -Totara 2.2 has a few more options as below
Totara Task | Totara Alert | Popup notification | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Totara Alert Notifications | |||||
| When I'm logged in |
Disallowed

Sending "Totara Alert Notifications" via "Totara Alert" when Online | Sending "Totara Alert Notifications" via "Popup notification" when Online | Sending "Totara Alert Notifications" via "Email" when Online | |
| When I'm offline | Sending "Totara Alert Notifications" via "Totara Alert" when Not online | Sending "Totara Alert Notifications" via "Popup notification" when Not online | Sending "Totara Alert Notifications" via "Email" when Not online | ||
