You can set up your eQSL account for whether you want to be emailed about new QSLs or not. Since I occasionally get an eQSL for a contact made from my old QTH, I have that part of my account set for emails, but not for newer QSLs. I'm not actively chasing any eQSL awards, but I still upload my log periodically for those who are. Only takes a minute of my time.
N3XP, I also prefer real cards. I still get a thrill when I get an envelope with unusual stamps and a postmark with funny writing, or a package full of bureau cards. They're easier to show off, too!
