Not getting email when someone follows me
In the last couple days, I've noticed my number of followers has increased from 70, to 72, to now 74. That's great!
In my settings, I have checked the box that says I want to be emailed when someone follows me. I have the correct address in my profile. Unfortunately, I seem to no longer be receiving these email updates. The last that I received was on Jan 12, but I know I've gotten new followers since then.

Inappropriate?Yeah me too. I think it's been a week or more. Couple new followers in the past day or two and no email notice.
Thanks for any help, and thanks for everything Twitter! -
Inappropriate?Same thing is happening to me these past few days. I've checked my settings, everything is ticked and e-mail address is valid, but no notification of new followers.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Is it possible that the Twitter email notifications are getting caught in your email account's spam filters?
Would you have any way to check if this could be the case?
I’m not sure, but that's the only explanation I can think of.

Actually, this seems to be a widespread thing - no one I've spoken with about it has received email notifications from Twitter since around 4pm pacific yesterday. -
Yes, it does seem to be a real problem.

Inappropriate?I just started having this problem.... but its intermittent on the followers. I am, however, no longer getting direct messages to email at all..... this started today.

Inappropriate?The last email I received from Twitter is dated April 11, 2008 (Fri) 3:36pm US Pacific Time (just noting it here fwiw, if it can aid in any troubleshooting).1 Comment Add a comment

Inappropriate?I always get email alerts *unless* the new follower is a "Twitter Slut" - someone who's following tens of thousands of people. There's obviously a whole in the Twitter code that allows these people, generally spammers, to add you to the list of people they follow and bypass the email alert.
