I still don't understand why 'PM' is 'Inbox Message' but I think I probably shouldn't ask further !
Dependent on how you have set your email notifications (you can change them in the 'My Account' pages) you get an email immediatelly when a new game is posted in your area and/or a game you are involved in has been changed in some way PLUS twice per week (Mondays & Thursdays) you get an email to tell you about unread messages (if appropriate).
So, if you didn't get the email, I'd guess one of the following:
1/ You have switched off email notifications in the 'My Account' section of your personal 'Home'.
2/ It wasn't a change to the game detail itself (which would cause an immediate message) but a private message and you wouldn't get an email telling you about unread messages until the next Monday/Thursday (whichever was next).
3/ You use AOL for your email - See other forum thread about this but basically because we send so many emails AOL (and only AOL) have 'grey listed' us and are currently bouncing every email we send to AOL members. We have complied with their requirements but are stunck in their internal process without the ability to contact anyone via phone, fax or email (their attitude - fill in the form and wait !!!).
We are considering changing the 'My Account' email notification options to let you choose how often to send email notification about unread messages (rather than just do you want them twice per week Y/N). Is this what you want (more configuration options on when emails should be sent)?
