Bugzilla via the "Edit prefs" link in the page footer.
The preferences are split into four tabs:</P

>3.3.1. Account Settings</H2
><P
>On this tab, you can change your basic account information,
including your password, email address and real name. For security
reasons, in order to change anything on this page you must type your
<EM
>current</EM
>
password into the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Password"</SPAN
>
field at the top of the page.
If you attempt to change your email address, a confirmation
email is sent to both the old and new addresses, with a link to use to
confirm the change. This helps to prevent account hijacking.</P

>3.3.2. Email Settings</H2
><P
>On this tab you can reduce or increase the amount of email sent
you from Bugzilla, opting in our out depending on your relationship to
the bug and the change that was made to it. (Note that you can also do
client-side filtering using the X-Bugzilla-Reason header which Bugzilla
adds to all bugmail.)</P
><P
>By entering user email names, delineated by commas, into the
"Users to watch" text entry box you can receive a copy of all the
bugmail of other users (security settings permitting.) This powerful
functionality enables seamless transitions as developers change
projects or users go on holiday.</P
