Private messages problem - Chris Hawes - 11 Jul 2007
I have now had two messages sent to my external email account (the first was a week or so ago) saying there is/are private messages waiting for me.
My mailbox is around 50-70% yet the two new messages are no where to be seen.
Any ideas of what the problem could be?
I have pasted the notification below:-
Hello Chris Hawes,

surely have.
I have lost two genuine messages though?

I had the same thing twice. It was actually a 6 month notification delay. I received 2 PMs - in November (at a guess), but with no notification. Then I got the notifications (about 1 week apart) in May this year !!
So I would guess the notification refers to PMs you have already read.

Are you asking me or telling me?
"I have lost two messages." - statement
"Have I lost two messages?" - question
I suppose if your notificaiton came through quickly then it is working ok.
As a precaution I cleared the smtp mailbox at the ISP prior to sending the test.
I have not tested down to intricate workings but you may have had a notification if someone sent you a PM (i.e. it is in thier outbox).
If for whatever reason, the person decided to delete it later prior to you looking in your mailbox maybe it won't be there.
I will do this as a test to your mailbox, date stamped at the time of this posting.
NickT.
