Delay in email notification of private messages

[midlifecrisis 4,048]

It is taking six or seven days before an email notifies me of private messages. Fortunately it is not a problem for me. I am just wondering if others have this issue or if there is a fix.

 

My messages and alerts from other boards in Thailand and the Philippines arrive promptly.

I'm looking at a problem with the mail system now. I'd not be surprised at your report.

Thanks MM for the quick response!

^{yep, there must be some glitch in the system, I tried to sign-up for the forum three times but never got the validation e-mail even after repeated requests. I finally e-mailed the BOSS for help, that's how I got in! :thumbup}

I freed up some space for the mail queues to get the system back up and running (the forum was down about 4 hours tonight), and I'm hoping the problem goes away.

Please let me know if your emails continue to be delayed.

Guess there is a delay for me as well. I got a message from someone yesterday, but haven't seen anything in my e-mail about it yet.

Anyone getting emails?

I did a quick test and got the email within seconds, so I think it might be ok.

How about you?

Same with me, I got a message yesterday and didn't get an email notification either. I don't know about right now.

Yesterday and the day before, emails may have been lost.

Let's count from today forward then.

I used the 'archive conversation'....which then tells me it has sent an email to my correct address.

Nothing arrived.

The board now uses a new mechanism to send mail to your email address.

 

Are you getting mail lately?

 

I turned on a bunch of notifications, and was getting lots of mail...unlike before the switchover two days ago.

I got one today for this thread!

I've been waiting for some good news.

 

Thank you!

I wish I had some for you but it could be a week before I find out.

 

Why not send a few of a PM and tell us on this thread when it was sent. We can then respond to you.

I was having a problem with them but today got an e-mail 1 minute after a PM was posted.

Whether you get email for a PM depends on your notification settings, so that's not conclusive for testing email.

I did turn on notifications for lots of events, and I was getting the emails as expected.
