Not receiving email notifications?

I’m subscribed to a bunch of threads, with the email notification chosen. For the last day or so I haven’t gotten a single email about any of them, though on checking, messages have been posted.

I am getting other mail regularly.

What’s happening? How do I fix it?
Added: I’ve checked the CP, and it shows my correct address, and lists a bunch of threads I’m subscribed to, so those aren’t the causes.

I’m on mindspring.com if that is relevant.

I had this problem recently, and it turned out that I had accidentally added SDMB to my block list. You might want to check your filters.

Well, I don’t have a block list. I used Eudora, and I just checked – no SD messages in my spam mail box or in the trash. I went to the mindspring site and used the webmail (which I never do ordinarily) and it has no SD messages in my In Box, and nothing at all in the trash or spam boxes.

So, I can think of only two possibilites:

  1. messages aren’t being sent out (either to me, or to everyone)
    or
  2. the messages are being blocked at a ‘higher level’ than my own account. Like, is Mindspring/earthlink blocking all SD mail?

:confused:

:slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
I did a mail run around 5 pm – no SD messages.

I did a mail run around 6:15 – the SD messages are back!

I changed absolutely nothing on my computer or at my ISP or here at SD between those two runs, so… beats me what went wrong and how it got fixed.

Color me happy though. :cool:

We dunno either, but we’re glad it got resolved.
