E-mail notification

Lately when I receive email I get a notification in the upper right corner of my screen regardless of what I am doing on the computer. There are times when the computer is asleep and I awaken it and there are 7 or 8 notifications lined up one on top of the other on the right side of my screen. I imagine I can go to preferences in the email setting and stop this
but I am not sure which one to select. How do I stop this notification and just let it go to my email account?

System Preferences > Notifications > Click on Mail in list on left > uncheck all options you don't want on the right

Thank you, thats exactly what I wanted to know.

Well done, Jonathan.
