Title: Not receiving email notifications from bitcointalk.org
Post by: joecascio on May 11, 2013, 02:47:27 PM
To the forum administrators,
I am no longer receiving email notifications of responses to posts I make. I have all the options set for automatically subscribing. And my current notifications page shows lots of activity, but I never receive any emails. Why am I not receiving them? Is there some global "don't send email" preference that I'm missing? I've looked over all my account settings and don't see anything.

Before you ask, I've checked my spam and trash folders on gmail and also my filters to make sure I'm not automatically deleting or archiving them. The last email notification I did receive was on Feb 11.

Hoping someone can help me out with this.

I'm having the same problem, not getting any messages for months, and I also haven't changed any settings in my profile since I did receive them. I'm also on GMail.

If you are using gmail forwarding, check the spam folders on the original email.

I'm sorry if this sounds like just another "check your spam folder" post, but it is what got me.

Yep, Gmail does place them in spam for me.

You can do the whole forum a favor by checking them as "Not Spam". I have a feeling it's just Gmail's filters kicking in semi-arbitrarily. Seems to crop up as an issue every other month since the beginning of the year.

I did mark quite a few as "not spam". Hoping that does the trick.

I am a dumb one  >:(
Because of the messages going into the spam folder, I couldn't log into the forum for close to one month because my pc broke and I forgot my password. I searched for moderator e-mails over and over, now I see this, thank you.
