PM emails are only sent if you are not online when the PM is sent. Could that be the reason you're not getting them?

I did get a PM email on 2/28, I responded, and the other member answered back. I did not get an email for the second message because I was online at the time. The little red icon at the top of the screen did come up though to alert me there was a new message.

I don't know. This morning when I went to check my email, I didn't have one for a pm, but I checked here and had one. I hadn't been online in a good 10 hours..

I think it must be the timing, Michele, or somehow you've inadvertently turned off email notification (in your settings).  I'm still getting them many times each week.

I continue to receive email notices when I get PMs, but I don't think I necessarily get them for every PM. I log almost every day and haven't kept track of when I do and don't receive email notices. Cathy's explanation sounds pretty reasonable, but I can't verify it one way or the other.
