1195302 2011-04-29 07:03:00 Just sent another PM at 5:47 PM. HTHThanks - got the PM, but no notification email, and no thread update email either :groan:. Erayd (23)
1195303 2011-04-29 07:08:00 Try a different email address in your settings. Jen (38)
1195304 2011-05-30 09:35:00 Once again, the email gremlins have struck - new PMs, but no notification emails!

I seem to be receiving *every* other email I'm expecting, and the only messages that don't appear to be making it are the PressF1 ones - and even then, they sometimes work fine.

Can anyone suggest what I could try to help nail this one down? It's extremely frustrating!


Try a different email address in your settings.I tried that... as you may remember, it didn't end well :groan:. The messages got through though, but I'm not sure whether that was a fluke or not - both email addresses I've used are Google ones (one Google Apps, one GMail).

1195307 2011-06-06 03:55:00 I registered via Gmail and seem to get the PMs OK. Looks like either Gmail or the App one are not forwarding the emails the forum sends so via webmail are the notifications there? Could be spam filter on Gmail?

If not then PressF1 is not sending the notification so it's broken there I guess.

I will send you another PM now so you can look. :)

1195310 2011-06-06 06:23:00 I only use Gmail and no other email address of any type, I get notifications from this forum and 2 other forums I'm a member of without any problems at all. They all come into my outlook inbox. gary67 (56)
1195311 2011-06-07 05:42:00 Could some kind soul please send me another PM? Things seem to be working at the moment if I test sending to myself...

Strangely, I haven't changed anything - it just magically started working just as mysteriously as it stopped :groan:.
