email notification broken? Only from AOL! WTF!

I've noticed the last week that while I get no email notification of a PM, when I come here I have PM's.

Still checked to notify me and the email is correct.

Emails are not ending up in spam, either.

Email notification is working fine for me.

Mines working fine

Working for me.  Coda keeps sending me messages that all start with"  "Recently John, I have been thinking about you in a different sort of way..." and it always ends with an offer to give me a back massage.  Strange.

Anyway, looked at the logs, and they are clean.  Check your junk/spam box.  I noticed that recently outlook.com email started putting this site emails in the spam box.

You are such a funny trucker arent you John. Tell the truth though.....you are the one PMing me so I had to block you

Don't use outlook. I do check spam/junk areas.
If you send me a love note, I'll let you know if it is working.
If not working, I'll switch to a different account that goes through a different server in case something is blocking gstwins messages based on the domain.

Switch email from AOL (a legacy account holding on to because it is "adidaspatrick") to one of my gs500club email accounts and all is OK.

It would seem that about 10 days ago, for some unknown reason, AOL began blocking emails from gstwins. They don't even get to the spam folder! WTF!

Thank you for mentioning this, adidasguy.

I'm a web designer and I have this one client with an e-commerce store that's not been getting order slips from the store suddenly, for no reason. I tested the store with my own email, and I was able to get order slips, but it won't work for my client's email, which is an AOL email. And when I suggested that they check the spam folder, they told me nothing was there. Sounds exactly like your issue.

I'm going to forward this info to them, because I suspected that AOL is doing some spam filtering that's too invasive (as in, deletes it by default and never tells you about it).

So, in conclusion, AOL email sucks.

I recommend Gmail if you don't have any other email client in mind. One Google account can give you access to multiple services, like Gmail and Youtube. They also allow me to organize my emails by importance logic, so it helps me weed out important emails from random crap.

My 2 cents.
