On left side in below link, you can add up all your favorite forums and bookmark the link in Browser. Manually refresh and see new posts. Open them and use Alert me option.

Another method to get alerts email is RSS feed. For your favorite forums, you can use RSS feed and use it in Outlook.

Sorry. To subscribe to a post, I am not aware of any other method other than opening and using Alert Me option.
I don't think the Product team will implement any new feature here now. All these existing MSDN/Technet forums will eventually move to a new forum called Microsoft Q&A.
