How to disable OneDrive "On this day" "Memories" whatever MS calls it now

I can't find any options in the settings for OneDrive to get it to stop sending me reminders of the past "On this day" or "Memories". Is it even possible to turn this feature off?

Update: I found in the actual OneDrive website an option under settings called "On this day memories are available" that is already disabled. What I'm experiencing now is not emails, but popups in the bottom right corner of my screen, so no emails but now these popup notifications that seem to be coming from the operating system.

    Hi Don,

    Yes I have verified that option is unchecked and has been saved. I think restarting my computer is what started this. It seems I received a recent update, and restarted my computer (and have restarted a few more times in the last day). This is when I started to have this issue. I also opened a support ticket with the OneDrive team (I pay a monthly fee for OneDrive so I figured I would use the support channel too). I am waiting for a response from them and can share anything I learn from them.

    Thank you,

    Jeff

    On the OneDrive page where you turned off "On this day..." is there a Save on the page that you should have clicked on?

    Has the computer been restarted after that was turned off?
