For some reason I don't get an email when I receive a new PM, even though my preferences are set to send them. I've double checked my email and made sure that they're not in the Spam/Trash boxes, but I'm just not getting them period. Any ideas why?

You get PM's?
You only have 2 posts,this 1 ^^^ being your 2nd post.

I don't get many PM's but I do get notified whenever I do.
Make sure you have your cookies enabled, try clearing your cache too.

I've been a member of Akiba for over a year and used to have around 50 AMP at any given time. Sadly, due to work and the wonderful forum feature known as "pruning" I'm down to less than 10.

Anyways, I've received 7 PMs within the 20 days, but I didn't get email notifications for any of them. Cookies and the cache have already been cleared and the only thing I can think of left to do is change my Profile's email...

I've also never gotten a single e-mail notification, even though (as far as I can tell) my settings say I should be getting them. K15 uses the same software (I think), and I always get e-mail notifications from them. I've even checked my SPAM bin to see if they've been accidentally filtered, but there's nothing there. What's your secret, CL™©®? :puzzled:

Well, actually, AO doesn't have an e-mail server.
It's mostly there to screw with your minds. (and because a certain someone haven't set one up yet)
Suckers!

I'm sure I get notified.
PM me just to make sure.

Nobody's ever gotten an email from this forum. So don't go forgetting your password.

I might fix it some day, but noone seems to care.

Well, until now.

I shouldn't be that hard. Your host allows unlimited email addresses I'd assume. Wouldn't you just need to make the addresses then configure the forum to use them?
