I think what you want is to turn off the email notifications in OneDrive.
- From the gear in you OneDrive account (online) select OneDrive Settings
- The Notifications Settings open - all are on by default. Slide the toggle to off for "Email notifications when other reply to your comments"
I have had my users (who collaborate and use comments in Word docs) do this and have not heard from them if that was the solution to stop the notification emails but it seems like it would be.

Thanks Kory but not within OneDrive or SharePoint. Email notifications are being triggered when someone commented in a Word document.
