I do not receive email notifies anymore

Post by Marco Sulla »

I use the same mail from the subscription to this forum. Now, suddenly, I do not receive notifies of new reply on subscribed topics. Can you fix it please? Thank you in advance :)

I am still receiving mine. Have you checked your spam/junk filter? Sometime they can false-positive a valid sender.

OK, I will take this to mean that you have checked that e4ward is not blocking Virtualbox emails, not that you just don't get any spam.

I will let the admins know about this problem.

I also don't receive any notifications. (Of course I also checked the spam folder)

Are you signed up to receive notifications?

Look down at the bottom of this topic, i.e. this part.

Despite the unfortunate tick (which is a static icon), If it looks like that then you are not subscribed to the topic. You have to click the link to subscribe, and the text will then change to "Unsubscribe topic", which is the real indication that you are subscribed.

The default for all topics is unsubscribed, whether you have posted there or not. Personally I post in a lot of topics and wouldn't want emails about every one.

I am signed in for notifications. I also ensure that "Notify me when a reply is posted" is checked. (Still no notification mails). Can I somewhere change the email-address for the notifications?

Not anywhere around here. Your email address is maintained by Oracle Single Sign-on, so you'd have to check out how to update that. Note that these are user to user forums, we have no access to nor ability to help you with other Oracle systems.

Virtualbox sends forum notifications to the email that Oracle Single-Sign-On uses for the username. See How to Change Your Forum Email Address or Password
