Email Issues

[clifish]

yup did that already

I finally checked my junk folder and there they were. 26 of them, all from the "do not reply" address. I checked my preferences and everything was checked except
"always email watched thread notifications". Not sure what that means but I checked it.
I must be dumb because I don't see any way to tell Outlook that it's a good address.
I guess it's not a big deal but I hate to have to check my junk folder every time I check the mail.
I can always log in to the site I guess but I don't normally do that regularly.

Google "Outlook filtering emails" you should see something similar to this:

Google Search

Man that's a long link

Not going to happen. SMF mail is all that my junk folder contained and I'm not going to start jacking with my computer settings because they're having a problem.
I'll just get by without emails until they figure it out.

Exactly!
Then you make changes & it doesn't do any good, because you never changed anything to screw it up in the first place. Then they fix whatever the real problem is, and yours still doesn't work, because you made changes to what worked perfectly, before Spring Cleaning.

Yeah, don't jinx us LOL! I've been getting them but apparently some still aren't...

 

[TulsaJeff]

I started getting emails today for the the first time in weeks... still crossing my fingers

 

[MJB05615]

I just started getting them 30 minutes ago. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for all of the tireless work.

OK Guys, I don't know if it matters, but now that I'm getting email alerts, I'm wondering why the number of alerts on my list keeps going up. It used to go back to zero, after I looked at them. What can I do to make them go away.
Check the screen shot below:

John, click on the gear in the upper right hand corner and choose preferences. There's a whole slew of Alert options that you can toggle on/off. It's down near the bottom.

 

[gmc2003]

Also about midway down there's an option to increase/decrease the number of responses to a watched thread before it lumps them into one alert.

It used to be it gave only one per thread until you looked at it . That way you didn't get 10 at a time for the same thread .
Mine seemed to be defaulted at 5 whether I had any or not .
I've actually turned mine off , but still getting them .

Must be too technical to me. I understand most of them, but I don't see any change I could make that would stop that number from increasing. Now 114

Make sure " Persistent alerts " is unchecked .

 

[gmc2003]

And try lowering the Summarizing similar alerts to 2 or 3 instead of 6 or whatever number yours is set to.

It already was unchecked.

Chris

It was @ "4".
I changed it to "2".

One last thing(well maybe not). Don't forget to click save at the bottom of the page. Then you may also have to refresh your screen for the changes to take effect.

Yup---Almost forgot, but did both. 119 now.
I don't think it really matters, but I like to know how may new ones are there.
I mean it's not like that number is going to get to 242 & everything blows up!!!

Well then I'm at a loss. If I think of something else I'll post it up. In the meantime maybe one of the Mods or Admins will chime in with something we're missing. Sorry I couldn't help you out.
