I'm a Comcast user. The email notification has not worked for me since the forum upgrade. I got it to work yesterday by doing this.

1. I opened a Gmail account here: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewA...ae1d22a&type=2

2. After I opened the account, I changed my email address here on the forum to my new Gmail address.

3. I then went into Gmail SETTINGS and clicked on the FORWARDING AND POP/IMAP tab and set it to forward all emails for my regular email address.

4. I also set Gmail to delete all emails after they are forwarded so my inbox won't get full.

This all sounds rather difficult but it really isn't. If anyone has trouble, just PM me and I'll try to help.

Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for the tip. I've got the same problem and I already have the gmail account so I should be all set.

Forwarding in Gmail does not delete the incoming mail, but places it into the Trash. So you will have to empty the Gmail Trash from time to time. I have not found a way around this.

 

Thanks, Steve! I just did it and now looking forward to "keeping in touch" again! Thanks for the instructions. They helped alot.

It does say any left in trash for 30 days will be deleted?

 

Sweet. Set this up yesterday and had emails to my regular account this morning. Thank you for the info. I was starting to forget which threads I had written something in.

 

I have read where that feature was not working but have not tested it myself.

 

checked mine = working... oldest are just 30 days.. (12 august)
use Gmail about 1 year, never cleaned my trash

 

Thanks for confirming that it does works.
