Email Notification of New Private Messages

AI Thread Summary
Email notifications for new private messages appear to be inconsistent, with some users reporting a lack of notifications despite no changes to their settings. One user noted they haven't received notifications since May 4th, while another mentioned their last notification was on April 23rd. There is speculation that the issue may have started after a hard drive replacement, although this could be coincidental. Some users experienced a temporary disruption, but notifications eventually resumed. Overall, the reliability of email notifications for private messages is currently in question.

Are they still sent? Seems like I have not received at least three in the last few days, even if they were sent before and I have not touched my configuration.

My notifications seem to have been ok although the last I received was May 4th.

Nothing came through, also nothing landed in my spam box.

All spam filters I am aware off (that is the ones on my computer and the ones at the hosting company) have been not touched in months.

I have added instant mail notification to this very thread, just out of curiosity.
 
And I have just checked - last notification I got was from April 23rd. I have a feeling that notifications stopped coming after the HDD was replaced, but it can be a pure coincidence.

Same thing happened here for a few days but it went back to normal.
