I have muted most forums here. I started a [thread](https://discuss.python.org/t/well-duh-saving-configure-args/60675/8) in Core Workflow several days ago. Even though it says I’m “watching” the thread and “[y]ou have mailing list mode enabled, so you will be notified of replies to this topic via email”, I have received no emails about replies. The only way I discover there are replies is to visit the website and check my notifications (upper right hand corner of the browser tab). Maybe I have something else configured which suppresses these emails, but it seems like Discourse **thinks** I should be receiving email notifications. ---

Am I the only person experiencing this problem? ---

As far as I can see from the logs, emails were sent to you. I don’t know how to diagnose it beyond that. ---

I seem to receive everything I expect. There is a 10 minute (IIRC) delay between a post and the email, which I expect accomodates the most likely post post edit time window. ---

Thanks, Cameron & David. I get nuthin’… Ever… I’m a Gmail user and get tons of mail daily from all sorts of other sources. I check my spam folder regularly (Google is nothing, if not mistake-prone vis a vis spam). I’ve seen no replies to this thread or to the linked thread in Core Workflow (also a muted category). I have three unmuted categories, Core Development, PSF and Packaging. I’m loathe to post test messages to any of those categories. I just changed my setting on this category to “Watching First Post.” We’ll see if I get any emails. David, is it possible the log message you saw was written before all logic about emitting an email was complete? Edit: I just added a second email. Will see if that catches any missives. ---

Oddly enough, I **did** get an email notification for my previous reply, one I actually didn’t need. 🤷‍♂️ Go figure. Seems to me like something’s rotten in Denmark…
