Forum not sending emails?

[AndyMH]

Everything was okay yesterday. Today, nothing in the inbox but on the forum several new notifications - but no email notification? Checked all my preferences - no changes there, except I've now checked all the boxes for email.

Anyone else having this problem?

I sent you a test email.

[AndyMH]

Just checked my email - nothing. Went to the forum - one notification (your post here). No email direct from you (and I have had them from other members in the past and recently).

Are you getting notification emails (assuming you've set it up)?

EDIT - for the avoidance of doubt:

I've got everything enabled and I checked - my email address is correct (and has not changed).

I'll turn mine on and send you another email

Try sending me an email. I getting my own from the forum when I tick the box to send me a copy.

Like a bus, you wait for an hour and then two turn up. Just checked my email and 15 are there. So whatever it was seems to be fixed. My end, forum end, who knows? Did do a reboot and took the dog for a walk. Got the email from you, will send one in response.

Server bottleneck? I'll soon be turning mine off.

No idea, got your reply to my email - thanks.

I have been doing a lot of coding today - make a change, compile, run. This is foxclone so repeatedly reading all the drives/partitions. It did slow down nemo - taking 20-30 secs to open, maybe it was upsetting evolution? But I think it started first thing before I got stuck into foxclone.

I get my email online with Chrome.

I shut my email off.

I am getting email notices that a "Private message' is on the forum,
just got one today.

don't recall if anyone ever sent me an 'email' from the forum though.
