yes,
actually, I updated my email on the profile but that change generated a verification email to be sent, and as I am not able to get any emails from the server, I was effectively locked out and needed to contact calendergirl by a different method to get my account reactivated.
just hoping I can confirm email notifications are working properly here before I contact my email provider.

That sounds more like it's being blocked on your side of the email, it's probably been flaged as spam. Do you have a spam/junk folder?

Trevor, my email provider has a filter set that deletes the most obvious spam, and I get all the rest. I could raise the threshhold and have lower scoring emails sent to a spam folder a spam/junk folder, but do not. It all comes to my inbox. That said, there is a provision to contact my provider and open a ticket to have them look and see if their filter is needlessly catching forum emails, which I intend to do if I can only verify whether email notifications for new postings are actually working for any other members here.

I think most providers are able to whitelist email from a domain (primitivearcher.com) which would solve the problem. Yes I do receive notifications for PM's.
