Email Notifications of PM's

LilRed's Avatar
I have not been receiving email notifications when I have a PM sent to me. Every once in a while I might get one, but lately I haven't been getting them except on random occassions. I have had the same email addy the whole time. I logged on today and had several PM's that I was never notified I had. I checked my settings under the Edit Options sub section Private Messaging and I do have the Enable Private Messaging checked asking that I do want to be notified when one was sent. Is there another place that I am suppose to have marked?
LilRed, this is way above my technical skill level. Let me talk talk to admin to see what they say and I will get back to you.

I had read somewhere on the board that this is related to an update that was performed in the recent past.

Didn't know if this was real or not.

Got 3 PM's yesterday evening, not one e-mail informing me of the PM's.

Just checked my e-mail again and still no e-mails informing me of the PM's from last night.

Something isn't quite right in the background.

Be Careful & Enjoy!

Red, by chance did you check your spam folder?
Or just reenter the email address. I had the same problem, that worked for me.

Stick, I just went through my spam folder and no Eccie emails.
Red sorry I haven't checked with you recently. I have been on my sick bed fighting the flu for the last few days. Has the issue cleared up or are you still having the problem?

I had the same issue. I just re-entered my email address so I'll see what happens when I get the next PM, whenever that happens. I was also no longer getting the PM pop-up notice like before. I turned the option off and back on as well.

Nevermind,
For some reason GMail started marking messages from ECCIE as spam, out of the blue.

I'm still having that same problem with not being notified of PMs until I'm into the site. I've cleared all cookies, re-entered my email, set new password, and I check my spam folder twice a day too. I think its a gliche in the new operating system that Eccie went too.

I've been away myself Stick, sorry my reply was so slow too. I have still been having the problem and sometimes I go days without logging on Eccie. When I do, I have all kinds of mail. I just re-entered my email like suggested in this thread. I will let you know if it has helped.

Ok, had someone send me a PM and no, I didn't get an email sent to let me know I had one.
Not just the providers. I too have not been getting any email notifications when I recieve PMs from providers or other hobbyists. I thought maybe it coincided with upgrading to google chrome but I have no real idea... And not a spam issue.
