>Once you have logged in, you can customise various aspects of 
    Bugzilla via the "Edit prefs" link in the page footer.
    The preferences are split into four tabs:</P
><DIV
CLASS="section"
><H2
CLASS="section"
><A
NAME="accountsettings"
></A
>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
