  “E-mail me whenever anyone posts a comment” is not emailing me whenever anyone posts a comment. The Comment Notification Email page seems to imply I have to be an author of the post to receive comments when this setting is engaged. If that is the case, this is really bad UX, and the setting description should be rewritten.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,
  Have you checked in your email client spam/junk mail filter?

  You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

  Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

  Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.
