Not getting email notifications & All folders of PM messages gone

[Bearcarver]

Was somebody working on something again? That's usually when this happens.
Has been working good for many months.

I have not gotten any Email Alert Notifications since Friday.
I got 13 notifications on Thursday, and 15 on Friday,
But I haven't gotten any since 6:49 PM on Friday.

I usually get between 10 & 20 per day.

Thanks,
Bear

Hit or miss here, getting most but not all.

I do not see any issues with the forum. We are going to check with our email delivery service to see whats going on. It could be blocked by your ISP and bounced back to us. Either way we will let you know tonight or in the AM what we found.

Everything else works fine---Just not getting ny daily alerts, since 6:49 Friday.

I checked my preferences, and all my checkmarks are at the right places.

Hi Bear, I checked our logs and it seems that we've been sending you emails in the last 24 hours without any bounces or issues that we can see. Please keep in mind, we won't be sending you emails if you haven't logged into the site. So that means we send you one message, per thread you're subscribed to (or otherwise adjusted for frequency of notification), each time you log into the site. If you don't log back in, we don't continue to send you messages to limit the frequency for anyone who wishes not to receive so many messages.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi there, we sent you messages 15 hours ago, and 5 hours ago. We also tracked that you have opened those messages. Please note, we don't send messages to you until we detect that you've logged into SMF regularly. Thanks!

Hi there, we have detected that you've opened our messages in the last few minutes. This means that they're being received by you from our logs and records. If this is not the case, please let us know. Thanks!

Thank you, yes it seems all is kosher here.
In my case it was limited to several from a watched thread that didn't come through.
I received one notification of reply and then no further until I logged into the thread again.
It is all good now.

Thank you for the update! It was very helpful to hear back from you.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Never mind, I found them:
On my main Email Page, I have 3 sections----
#1 Primary which is where all my real Email comes in, including SMF stuff.
#2 Promotions which is all BS, Scams, Spam, and Junk mail.
#3 Social Which is more BS, & stuff I don't even use.

So for some reason, all of my SMF Alerts jumped ship from my good email over to my Shit Bin, with the rest of the garbage.
All I ever did with "Promotions" & "Social" is every now & then I go over there, and Delete it all.

So I Apologize for bothering Brian & Steph, and anybody else who was looking to fix this.

Now as long as we're here, can someone tell me how to get the SMF emails to be once again delivered to the proper place. Did SMF change anything as of last Friday, that would cause my Server to think SMF is just more "Crap" trying to get in, which would cause them to direct it to the wrong place.

Thanks,
John

Hey John! It sounds like your have your Google Gmail configured to the default way that they show inboxes. If you wish to have a single, unified inbox, please check out their documentation: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/3094499?co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop&hl=en

The most two important things to do here is:

Step 4 - In the "Inbox type" section, select Default.
Step 5 - In the "Categories" section, check the boxes of tabs you want to show. - Uncheck all of the Categories.

I'm a Gmail power user so I know my way around well. I hope this helps!

Thank You for the Quick Reply, Steph!!!

However, since I'm not much with 'Puters, wouldn't that make all of the Crap from Social, and Promotions come over to my Primary, along with my SMF stuff?

How can I just get the SMF stuff to come back where it has for years, until last Friday, and leave the Crap where it is & has always been?

Thanks,
John

Hi John, please note that the directions I gave you are the simplest way to see all your emails in a single view. It's low maintenance and you can ignore messages you don't want to read.

If you prefer a more complex setup using filters, I suggest this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en

I would configure the filter as "email messages sent from the email: [email protected] do not go into spam, are important, and are marked for Inbox" -- These should be checkboxes for you when you setup the filter.

OK---Thanks Steph!!
I have to leave for awhile, but I'll have to think about which way I want to do it.
I was kinda hoping that you guys changed something on Friday that caused my Server to read SMF as Crap, and that you could change it back the way it was previously.
Maybe my Server changed something on Friday to cause this????

Thanks Again,
John

Hey John, sadly, I can't speak for any changes that occur on Google's Gmail side. They may have updated their filter criteria because of keywords, frequency, topics, etc. Who really knows.

We have not made any changes, we have been using the same service for months and have not adjusted any settings or options. We understand any such changes are communicated in advance since we don't want our users to get caught off guard. In short, we didn't make any changes. :(

When my emails were going to spam during the transition I saved a contact SMF with the [email protected] address and emails came to inbox. Also, when you open the email in your spam folder mark it as not spam or move to inbox however yours is worded. Once denoted as not spam all emails should go to inbox.
