    Question Email notifications not working

    Hi all,
    Is anyone receiving email notifications for replies on posts?
    I did enable this for a topic just like in the screenshot below, but notifications are not being received.
    They are also not in any spam- or unwanted folder.

    I haven't used that feature in years, but I'll try to test it out later and make sure all settings look normal!!

    Well it looks like they work for me..and definitely working for Clam!!

    I looked at your settings and everything looks ok to me..So I'll have to ask Sid if he knows anything..

    You might try unsubscribing to the thread and resubscribing??

    So I assume the mechanism itself works.

    It's not working for me on all the threads.
    The activation email was also not received; I did communicate with Isidoros to get it working.

    The strange thing is that I am using an Office 365 account; and I am the full administrator.
    So the mailbox is 'somewhere' in Azure, and I cannot find any dark places where a email could have gone if it was dropped on 'my' side of the communications.

    I just adjusted my email address to a Gmail account, and I did receive a message to confirm that.
    First step works.

    Could it be related to the fact that my normal address has a .nl extension?

    It could be.. I am not very knowledgeable about forum software stuff, put it is old and does some odd things sometimes, so it may just get confused with different email stuff like that..

    Did that yesterday. And then it all fell down.

    Manual intervention from Sid was needed. First to reset the account, second to activate it again.

    I will now no longer touch my email settings, and just did create a forward rule on the gmail account to my regular email.

    Seems that mine is broken now. Nothing in my spam folder either.

    I'm not seeing email notifications for subscribed threads either. Been a few weeks now.

    I have changed some DNS settings and hopefully it will sort it once the new dns propagates.
    but I am monitoring it..

    Whatever changed today unleashed a flood of notifications from pachitalk to my email address.
    I'm pretty sure that the volume of the messages triggered whatever threshold Google uses to identify spam and they all ended up in my junk filter.

    I've been flagging them as not spam so I receive them in the future.
    Other folks might want to check their junk mail and do the same so the algorithms learn that pachitalk email is desirable and should not be treated as spam.
