Why am I not receiving email to followed questions?

I am subscribed to 'email me when a followed question has been answered', but I never get an email. Any question I post I never get an email to say there have been answers, I used to, but no longer. Why is this and how can I change it. It's time wasting to have to manually check my questions. Apple support communities used to be brilliant, nowadays they seems a pain to navigate ... general moan over.

I think I felt your pain at the BIG / SWITCH. I kicked the SiteWare by ::
going to Prefs and switching the buttons off & on several times & saving changes, then...
go find a post you had followed prior to the B / S. Click Following/Follow several times.
That seemed to do the trick.I don't know whether one or the other or both are required.
Additionally. As I said to md..... in another thread just like this one
     The SiteWare seems to make a definite distinction between Authored, Participating & Following.
     Appears that for notification purposes, Authored & Following get notices automatically, while Participating does NOT.
You WILL get notices of Replies to your posts even if you don't follow the thread, i.e., Participating but not Following
I have made it a habit to be sure and Follow every thread I reply to, thus circumventing that attribute. I am running a little test with this post to see if P not F has been surreptitiously fixed. I think maybe it has but other replies to you but not me should prove one way or another.

    Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Hi Nortarian,
    The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
    iOS: Unable to send or receive email
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    Hope this helps ....

  • Why am I not receiving email for verifying my account?

    Why am I not receiving email for verifying my account?

    I sign in on appleid.apple.com and select manage apple id and sign in.  Everything is correct.  That address has been verified.
    That is o.k., then.
    However, on the left side of the screen the only option is verify your email address, nothing about security
    I don't understand, what on the left side of the screen?  If you tried to verify a second email address, you should be either seeing "verified" or "verification email sent". The second email address may already have even verified for a different Apple ID.
    Have you already looked at the link below?

  • Why am I not receiving emails that I know have been sent to me??

    I am not receiving emails into my Mail program. I know that I have been sent emails, in fact I have sent myself tests from both the email as well as my Yahoo account. Neither have come through. I have tried the "send/receive" button and it does not register that there are any emails. This is an ongoing problem and the emails will sometimes come through hours later (if not the next day). My coworkers are not experiencing this problem at all. This is seriously effecting my ability to respond to my clients - since I'm not getting their emails.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Thank you!
    I actually saw your post below on another listing and have just finished trying it...unfortunately it did not work. I have also checked my Quota Limits and we have 858GB and my account states it is using only 2.9GB. So VERY odd and frustrating...Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!
    Also, I am trying to go through and remove attachments without deleting the entire email. I found online how to do this, however, it does not seem to be working...any ideas?
    Thirdly, do you know if having your Inbox organized into numerous folders/subfolders would increase the amount of space used and could be causing these issues?
    Sorry to ask so many questions...I'm at a loss for what to do.
    Thank you!

  • I did not receive email of security question reset

    Hi.
    I recently bought an iPad Air 2 64gb 4g. I wanted to purchase new app when it asked to authorize my apple ID for the first time on this device, and by answering my security questions. I've forgotten the answers so I used the link in my account management page to be sent the reset info to my alternative email. When I clicked the link it said the email was sent successfully and I should follow the steps it would say.
    The problem is no email comes to me even after two days and several attempts with sign out/in in between.
    My alternative email has nothing in spam folder.
    My alternative email receives all emails I tested.
    I changed my alternative email in my account successfully but that link of reset email under security question boxes still shows my previous alternative email as for the address to be used.
    I was able to change every other detail of my account.
    My Questions are:
    1. Why apple is not sending me the email even after noticing it as successful?
    2. Why although I changed the alternative email, there is still my previous one shown as the destination for reset email? So how can I change the destination shown in the link of security questions reset inquiry?
    Thanks in advance

    The reset email should have been sent to your rescue email address, alternate email addresses are different and not used for account security - is it your rescue email account that you've checked, or just your alternate email address ?
    You won't be able to view and/or change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, if the email isn't there then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use (you won't be able to set it to be the same as any other email address on the account) : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

  • Why does my mini iPad not receive emails?

    Why does my mini iPad not receive email ?

    We need a bit more to go on than that please.
    Have you tried to reboot the app? Double tap the home button, when you see the previews for the apps on the screen, scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick it up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button or tap on the home page preview to exit the mode.
    If that doesn't work, try to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete and then re-add your mail info
    Beyond that we need more details to go on to offer help.

  • Why am I not receiving the email to reset my password?

    Why am I not receiving the email to reset my apple id password?

    Has anyone received an answer to this? It seems that a lot of us are having the same issue. In the past i had no trouble receiving emails to reset my password but for the past week I havne't been able to login, my security questions didn't work and I haven't received any of the emails to reset my password. I've created a new Account but would rather  get into my old account because it's linked to my perfered email address. Hum..
    Any help from the community would be much apprecated! thanks!

  • HT201342 Why am I not receiving my emails?

    I have been receiving my emails until recently and then they suddenly stopped.  Why am I not receiving my emails? 

    Hmm... not much to go on.
    Is your mac turned off?  Not connected to the internet?  Connection to icloud not on?  Are we talking about icloud emails or some other service?

  • I'm not receiving emails from 2 specific domains to my .mac email. Both have the correct address and I don't have any rules set up. Anyone know why this is happening?

    I'm not receiving emails from 2 places. I don't have rules set up and both senders have the correct address. The messages aren't in my junk folder either. This is for my.mac account. Anyone know how to fix?

    That just sounds like the mail headers. Most people don't know (or care) about them so they're usually hidden.
    Check Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Show header detail
    I'm guessing it's set to 'All'. Switch it to 'Default' or None as you prefer.
