What if the emails are not getting through?

If you’re not receiving notification emails:

• First check to make sure you are the author of the post.
• Check the Discussion Settings page to make sure email notifications are activated.
• Check the Notifications page to be sure you haven’t blocked all emails from WordPress.com.
• Check the spam folder in your email program to make sure the messages were not sent there by mistake.
