Description Sven Manguard 2014-04-15 00:49:00 UTC
Several users have tried to email me via Special:EmailUser (i.e. via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Sven_Manguard), but I have not received the emails. Other mail sent to the same address through other means is arriving normally. When I attempted to determine whether this was a Special:EmailUser specific problem, as opposed to one with my gmail account, I asked user:Hahc21 to sent me an email through both methods. He also reported having problems receiving mail via Special:EmailUser recently. 

I know of at least two users that tried emailing me, Cyberpower678 and Darkwarriorblade. The former sent an email a few days before 8 April 2014 and another one on 8 April 2014. The latter sent me an email today, 14 April 2014. I received none of them. I was, however, able to reach them using Special:EmailUser.

The email address that is hooked up to my account is the same one I am using here, for Bugzilla. I changed the capitalization (SvenManguard@gmail.com to svenmanguard@gmail.com), and was then able to get an email via Special:EmailUser from valhallasw. I am not sure if resetting my email address changed anything, but I've yet to test anything further.

The default question, as it wasn't mentioned above: You checked your spam folder?
Comment 2 Sven Manguard 2014-04-15 17:00:12 UTC
Yes, of course. It's not in my deleted emails either, and it's not in another tab (social, personal, whatever they were) on gmail because I got rid of that feature. The mail simply didn't arrive.

There are no Yahoo mail server at all involved at any side, correct? 
(Because that's what everybody has issues with currently.)

Wondering if bug 65328 is related.

Answering the question in comment 3 still welcome. :)

As far as I know, there is no Yahoo involved.

Sven: Is this still a problem nowadays?
