Clear communication with members of sections/chapters

I went to Preferences, but it is not obvious which email preference needs to be updated to ensure that I receive section messages. I did at least find that I could uncheck the Activity Summary box; I presume that it being checked on by default explains the irrelevant email message I got yesterday that highlighted 3 unread notifications.

To elaborate a bit, and I am no doubt embarrassing myself before the digital natives for whom this interface is second-nature, but I have never used a “platform” like this and find it incoherent. I cannot make sense of the options under Preferences → Tracking, nor understand what tracking is supposed to do or the difference between tags and categories. I’m sure I could spend enough time with the interface to make sense of it, but I don’t see a use case that would justify the time. Have you considered a user guide?
