Title: Blockchain.info not sending confirmation emails
Post by: sinner on December 03, 2012, 07:30:12 AM
I have made a few transactions with my blockchain.info wallet and I am not getting the email notifications.

I have confirmed my email and the settings are correct:

I'm gonna try setting it to email me after 1 confirmation to see if that works instead.

Just to eliminate the obvious, ... nothing is in your spam folder?

no--i checked that several times.  blockchain.info email does not go to my spambox anyway.  i have received email from them before.

i tried SMS notifications, which also didn't work.  which is weird cuz blockchain DOES send me texts as part of 2 factor authentication when i login.

Notifications will no longer be sent for SatoshiDICE transactions or any transactions involving addresses on this page http://blockchain.info/popular-addresses. This is to help reduce increasing costs of SMS messages.

If the transactions do not involve popular addresses then I am not sure what the problem is. Perhaps you have reached the daily notifications limit?

i'm not trying to get SMS notifications--just email ones when my wallet receives/sends coins.  its not to/from the popular addresses you listed.

i havent received any daily notifications yet :(

I also did not receive a confirmation email for bitcoin received today.

I have the same notification settings as in the original post.

Same here. It worked until I imported a private key, and now I dont get email notifications for any BTC received under the new address.

Anybody else have similar problems?

I'm seeing the same thing... it happened when I created some new addresses to track my various mining pools separately.
I'm still getting notifications for older addresses, but newer ones I recently created get no notification emails for sent nor received transactions.

I've reset my email and notifications settings on the site, hoping this will fix the issue.  I'll find out on the next block payment from one of the newer pools I added.

I received 2 payment notifications and 1 wallet backup email yesterday, so it is working for me at least.

Edit:
Just realised OP posted this on December 03 2012, nevermind...  :D

Just because OP posted this issue two years ago doesn't mean it's not happening again.

I'm seeing it only occur with new addresses I've created in the last few days.  Older addresses trigger notification emails no problem, but any new transactions involving my new addresses are not triggering an email notification.

same here. I added a "watch only" address and didn't get any notifications for transactions to that address.

I created a blockchain.info wallet one year ago in April 2013.  I have my settings configured to provide email notification upon sending or receiving BTC, just like OP's screenshot.  I've had 16 transactions sending and receiving BTC and not once have I received an email notification.   ???

My email address is confirmed, I've checked my spam folder, I've tried switching from @yahoo.com to @gmail.com address.  I've submitted a support ticket, to which there has been no reply for 1 month. 

Multiple people are experiencing this issue and there seems to be no effort by blockchain.info to fix it.

It's concerning because if this settings isn't working, then what other settings are not working?  If I tick the box to restrict the login to my IP address or to prevent login from the torr network, I fear that those settings may not be functioning properly either and my BTC is not secure on this service.  :(

Add me to the list of people not getting an email notification. I turned it on yesterday and since then two transactions have occurred and 0 notifications. I do instantly get my wallet emailed to me every time it changes (new address, etc) and my email address is confirmed.
