How to change or remove Google Analytics weekly email

I have been trying for some time to figure out how to change or even stop the Google Analytics weekly emailer in the new Google Analytics system to no avail.  Well, today I finally found some info on it from Google…back from November!  It shows how to do it by simply clicking the “Standard Reporting > Email” button as seen below.

So I scour my analytics account for this magic button, but keep reading.  Next they tell you…oh yeah, but that feature isn’t released yet.  But it will be ready in a few weeks as they stated in November of last year!

“A more detailed blog post about the emailer and its new functionality will be available when the it is released in a few weeks.”

So here is the only way I could figure out how to do it.  First go to the old version by clicking the link in at the top right.

Finally!  We made it to change the reporting email!  Let me ask you, how does it feel to be a dentist because we just pulled teeth!  Thanks Google for all your hard work making this as complicated as possible!
