I am double posting this, as these two threads are nearly identical, they prob. should be combined into one, so others in the future can read one fluent thread on this issue....
OK, the agony has not ended...
while it took me 5+ years to figure out the notification issue (can't have an gmail address), there is new problems.
I have spent a week trying to get the newly delivered notification emails out of my Gmail Spam bucket. Gmail is my email server, despite having a hotmail address, which I only use for this Festool forum, as it was the ONLY way I got notifications to work...thx to Tom who pointed this out! However, after trying EVERY fix Google recommends, they have all failed. I never have this problem with any email going to spam...it might happen, but is immediately corrected with a simple "not spam" button.
When all suggested attempts fail, Google advises the sender to WHITELIST my email address. So if possible Peter, can you pls have your IT guy WHITELIST my email address? Pls advise if you can do this, or if you do it, when its complete. My guess is, this would solve a lot of problems with all users.
Even with tremendous persistence, these problems are incredibly difficult to resolve. Hopefully I am almost there. will update once something changes.
