Some of my comments are not being sent to my email account. Is there any reason for that?

First, check your spam file and see if they’re there. They are often redirected there.

If they’re not in there:
Send an email to support at wordpress dot com with all your email details, including which comments didn’t generate the emails.
People on a couple of different services have reported this problem. It seems to be service-specific to Yahoo and one other (the name escapes me at the moment). What service are you using?

This is happening for me, too. I sent a message to support…

Good.

Folks there is no point in posting here regarding this problem.
Volunteers cannot help you. We do not have backend access to blogs.
Please wait until Monday and send in feedbacks to staff.

Re: lack of comments you need to check this out: “The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.”

I think it’s useful for people to post and let us know which email service they’re using. It seems to be restricted to a few of them, and showed up first on Yahoo. It’ll help us narrow things down.

I miss comments intermittently. I use BTinternet, which I believe is integrated into Yahoo Mail in some way as when I use web access rather than Outlook it uses the Yahoo Mail platform.

Just in the past week I’ve started getting only a few of my comments appearing in my email. I have them sent to my Yahoo email address. They’re not in my spam folder. I’ll email on monday, just wanted to pipe up with what service I used.

Agree with Rain. If you’re having this issue, please state very specifically what email service you are using.

Google mail (or gmail)’s spam filter has been eating a lot mail recently. Please check your spam in gmail for comments.

What is interesting is that almost all of my blog related mail was being directed to spam which other than comments also included mail from feedblitz, feedburner, xfruits, statcounter and others. Wonder why that is happenin?

I just got email notification of 1 comment. There were four others in moderation.

I’m using a gmail account dedicated to the blog that auto-forwards to my main gmail account.

Nothing in the spam box at all.

Edit… and I just got notification for another one (different from the 4 that never showed up). So it seems to be a hit or miss kind of thing.

Did you check the spambox of the gmail ID dedicated for your blog?
