Forum e-mails (and password resets) not working --migration?
« on: March 03, 2017, 12:40:13 AM »
An hour or two ago I was trying to use a password recovery mail to log into my account from a new machine.  I still haven't gotten the reset mail.  Verified in my forum profile page that I was checking the right e-mail account, and checked both Inbox and Spam folder. 

Did a search for "mustache" and was able to find my last reset attempt from some time back.  Also noticed from that search that my last thread update e-mail I have is from 2/21.  I know that thread has more recent activity, so I suspect it's all outbound mail and not just password resets.

My e-mail account is with Outlook.com.  Mentioning because sometimes if a mail server winds up on a black list, it can get bit-bucketed by some recipients but not others, depending on which lists are subscribed to by whom.  That's only speculation, mind you.  It's been forever since I had an idea about how that stuff worked, and it was a vague idea even then.

Can you check your spam folder, and report back here if the emails are/aren't in there?

Nope.  Not there.

Acknowledged. Thanks. Passing it up the chain.
