A few of our members on thephilosophyforum.com have said that they're not receiving email notifications for private messages, although they are still receiving them for other things. Some of them are saying they receive such notifications for PMs sent by me, but not for PMs sent by others. None of this makes sense to me except maybe that their email platforms are sometimes classifying the emails as junk or rejecting them, and other times not, seemingly randomly.
What do you think?
’m currently in Kazakhstan and they’re native here, filling the same niche as their relative, the European starling, does in Europe. They hang about outside where I’m working, demonstrating their impressive mimicry. — Jamal
Overall, the findings suggest that Common Mynas do not display more food-related aggression than other species in suburban habitats, suggesting that competitive aggression over food is not likely to be one of the behavioural traits leading to the success of Common Mynas in suburban habitats. — K. M. Haythorpe, D. Sulikowski & D. Burke (2012), Relative levels of food aggression displayed by Common Mynas when foraging with other bird species in suburbia
It would seem unlikely for some emails to be received and others not, unless the receiving mail server was unreliable or being throttled, which can happen.
Perhaps it's a misunderstanding of when notifications about PMs are sent. They're sent when a conversation is started, primarily. Users also have the option of being notified about updates to bookmarked conversations, assuming that conversation has been read and therefore the new message is "fresh".
Perhaps the next time a user reports such a case, send us the specifics (email address, approximate time, expected reason for the notification), we will comb through the email logs.
So if you haven't bookmarked a conversation, you won't receive notifications of new replies. This dissolves the problem, I think — Jamal
Does this mean that my mail server (receiver) is unreliable? Javi's too?It would seem unlikely for some emails to be received and others not, unless the receiving mail server was unreliable or being throttled, which can happen. — Jamal
What does this mean exactly? When does a conversation start?They're sent when a conversation is started, primarily — Jamal
I don't think this is legal. It's a privacy violation.Perhaps the next time a user reports such a case, send us the specifics (email address, approximate time, expected reason for the notification), we will comb through the email logs. — Jamal
But I had not "bookmarked" anything when I received a notification about your PM, twice or more timesSo if you haven't bookmarked a conversation, you won't receive notifications of new replies. — Jamal
What do you mean by "dissolves"?This dissolves the problem, — Jamal
Thanks. I didn't know about that.To bookmark a conversation, toggle on the star icon at the bottom. — Jamal

You mean, the "cc"? Yes, I improvised a little ... I didn't know where and how else else to indicate that! :grin:An odd post Alkis, but I'll assume you've written it in good faith. — Jamal
I see. OK.As my post made clear, the problem is dissolved... — Jamal
You mean that you "bookmarked" have both conversations you have started with me, right. Yet, the star ("bookmark") seems not to have been clicked (it's not black).So if you haven't bookmarked a conversation, you won't receive notifications of new replies — Jamal
As I have already told you, I have all 4 options selected, since day one and have never chenged them.check the checkbox labelled "Email when my bookmarks have new comments". — Jamal
Question to ChatGPT: "Is it an invasion of privacy to give out someone’s email address without asking permission first?"I don't think this is legal. It's a privacy violation.
— Alkis Piskas
Not true, but it's irrelevant, because we won't be asking him to do that. — Jamal
So, based on the above two remarks, "bookmarks" do not seem to work or at least not consistently — Alkis Piskas
