    If you have a Microsoft hosted email addresses like @outlook.com, @live.com, @hotmail.com
    Can you please let me know if you've been receiving subscription emails from the site?

    I have a test email account @outlook.com and it hasn't worked for several weeks.  Mail to other services like gmail etc. work fine.

    Not to be a complete dumbass, but what's a subscription email - like a newsletter?  On other sites you can subscribe to a thread, but I didn't think we had that? 
    My registered email is hotmail btw...and I've never had a HDA email as far as I can remember, other than first signup.

    Thanks bonkerz.  You don't get a notification for your own posts but you should receive one from my post.  Let me know if you get it?

    Nope, nothing.

    Try posting something again if you like and I'll close the window to this site.  Maybe it sees I'm on here and doesn't send one.
    I'll come back here in 20 mins or so and recheck.  (When da boss aint lookin)

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I suspected, no emails are being sent to Microsoft email addresses.  The email from a subscription should arrive pretty much instantly.  It does to my gmail address.  Thanks for testing it for us.  I'll need to get onto them again to get it sorted.

    Hi mate. Yep I have a hotmail account and I never receive any notifications for inboxes, password reset or the like. Haven't for a long time. Thanks for putting in the effort to fix issues like this.

    This should now be fixed.  I've had to create a gmail account for the site to send emails. Those with Microsoft email addresses should now get subscription emails again.
