Twitter enhanced it’s Email notification system and added features to receive Email when someone you follow retweet your Tweets. Earlier we used to receive Email when someone follows or send us a direct message.
With this new Email notification from Twitter, you will receive Email when some one you follow retweet your tweet or favorite your tweets. This way, you can keep complete track of all the activities happening with your twitter profile.
Though if you are a power twitter user who is getting lots of mention and retweets, you might like to disable this feature to keep your inbox clean.
This feature was announced by Twitter team via tweet:
How to Disable Twitter Email notification?
So in case, if you don’t like so many Emails, probably you might like to disable this feature. You can go to twitter notification settings page and select options to enable or disable receiving Emails.
This is indeed a useful feature and specially now people who are using new style retweet on Tweetdeck or any other Twitter client, their tweet will not go unnoticed.
On the second thought, it might be consider as a bad update for third party dev, who build websites to receive updates on @mention and Favorites.
Anyways, I would love to see feature to reply by Email (default) in future. However, I liked this new feature as now I can keep track of all my followers who are retweeting my tweets.
Do let us know what do you think about this new feature from Twitter? Do you think it’s useful or found it annoying because of so many Emails?

This will turn out be a great tool to get this information directly form twitter. So far, such a thing could be found only through third party twitter applications.
You don’t want to visit Twitter notifications Settings page, because most of them would find difficult to find that link, suppose if you failed to mention that, if you receive any notification , better you can open that mail, and click the unsubscribe link to make the changes.
yes you are right, um getting mails from twitter about followers/following and its amazing
Great feature by Twitter! Can’t wait to use this.
