Yes you’re correct. I’ve looked into the problem, but can’t solve this without breaking the plugin. I hope you’ll find another solution or plugin. If you found one. please report it here to help other users.
I think the conflict with BuddyPress was causing issues for me too. I reload an updated data set for user profiles every other week and needed something that would stop the user notifications when I do that.
I found a plugin that stops ALL email notifications, so my solution is that I simply turn that on when I am running the data update process (or creating new users, etc) and then turn it off when I am done.
