YellowLab Stop Core Emails adds a focused settings page under Settings > Stop Core Emails, where administrators can disable selected native WordPress email notifications.
You can manage email notifications for:
<ul>
<li>automatic plugin updates</li>
<li>automatic theme updates</li>
<li>automatic WordPress core updates</li>
<li>available core update notices</li>
<li>new user notifications sent to administrators</li>
<li>user password changes</li>
<li>password change notices sent to administrators</li>
<li>user email address changes</li>
<li>site administrator email address changes</li>
<li>new comments</li>
<li>comments waiting for moderation</li>
<li>critical error and recovery mode messages</li>
</ul>
The plugin does not block updates, user actions, comments, or recovery features. It only disables the selected email notifications.
After activation, open Settings > Stop Core Emails or use the Settings link on the Plugins screen.

This plugin removes the WordPress update nag that appears at the top of all admin pages when a new version of WordPress is released.
Tired of WordPress nagging you about a new release? Maybe you already know about it and want to hold off on an update and would rather not see the update nag on every admin page you visit. Activate this plugin and be bothered no more!
The status of your version of WordPress (be it current or out-of-date) is still reflected in the footer of your admin pages and in the update count link in the admin bar.
And certainly, of course, I don’t advocate completely ignoring the fact that updates often contain fixes for critical bugs or exploits. However, there are various other means of learning about updates; and once known, not everyone is able or willing to update immediately.
