IMSLP Forums

I want to modify my IMSLP user preferences so I can received email notifications from IMSLP.ORG. However, my email has not been confirmed.

IMSLP thinks it has sent confirmation messages to my email address. However, I have received none. I have a comcast.net email address.

Suggestions?

Is it possible that you may have typed the wrong email address for confirmation? That would explain why IMSLP says that it did send the email, but you didn't receive it.

Thanks for trying to help, but I don't think so. I've gone into my IMSLP preferences page and copied my email address to the clipboard, and then pasted it into my email client and sent a test message to myself. The message arrives immediately. This is evidence that IMSLP has my correct email address. I suppose that Comcast may be blocking email from the IMSLP.ORG domain. Has anything like that occurred before?

Not to my knowledge—we are not a source for pirated files, after all.

Often ISPs that also offer mail service often have their own SPAM filters either in-house or outsourced to other companies. I would highly recommend that you not use Comcast's or any other ISP-specific email and go with something like Gmail. That way, if you decide to cancel your service at any point in the future, your email won't evaporate, and also you'll have control over what you receive and can check the various mailboxes to ensure email is being delivered to the correct location.

I told IMSLP my Yahoo email address and now everything seems to work okay.

Thanks for your help.
