Hi, justme659. Are tout having one email account forward Mingle2 mails to another email account? From what I can see, we are not having any issues with notifications.

Styk: it is not a spammer. It is someone I was writing to on a regular basis.

Charles: No, I just have my mingle2 mail set up to notify me at my sign on e-mail account when I have mingle2 mail. It just took 5 days. Is this normal?

Could have been a mail server issue, perhaps a server was down for a while.

It's not normal, no. If it's working as it should now, perhaps we'll just chalk it up to web strangeness. If it continues, we can do more thorough testing.

Either that or the solar flares. Thanks for responding Charles.

I'm checking to see that automated emails are being sent in a timely fashion, klc. I also sent a test mail, and it did not bounce back, so that is a positive.

lately I havent been receiving notification of messages to my email. I will come on the site to find I have mail tho.

I received notifications right on schedule, for years.
Then they stopped.
No apparent reason.
So after many months of that, I went in,
removed my email address that Mingle2
forwarded my mail to.

Then I re-entered it.
Problem solved.
I do not know why, but it worked.
Have now been receiving email
notifications, ever since.

thanks. I got the email, but does that test whether I will get an email notification when I have a message here? maybe ill try what soufie did.

Also, check that your email is NOT redirecting
the email from Mingle2 to the spam file.
Happens.

I had something similiar happen once. It was around a week ago or within the last week here where the "Mail" screen showed that I have 1 new email message but when I went to my inbox there was no new mail?

It doesn't, but it was a decent place to start. Doing what soufie suggests is a good idea, because there are no problems with the mail process / server at this time.

WholesomeWoman, that is a different matter. It can happen after we purge a scammer's mails, for example, and eventually the counter corrects.

Thank you Charles for explaining why. Have a good day.

Not a problem. If the counter doesn't self-correct, let us know.
