Hi Joe,
The system is sending you emails. Go into the Members Area and look in the Email Log. (Bottom of the left hand list of options). You will see all the emails that the system has sent you. So, the question is why are you not getting them? I am not seeing any email bounce backs for your email account so the message are are getting through. Please check your Junk or Spam folders. Chances are your email program is putting them in there.
Regards ... Tim.
I checked my e-mail file - you're right, they are being sent. But where are they going? I checked my Junk files and they are not there. I am not a techie, so could someone suggest where they might be. They don't appear to be bounced back so is there any way I could have accidentally done something really stupid. I get lots of emails on a daily basis from other sources, just nothing from SOR.
Thanks Doug, but that's already in my address book and stuff that goes into my trash doesn't get deleted until I delete it. Is there any other suggestion out there? It's frustrating to not know when you have been overbid on an item you really want! Thanks very much for all the suggestions so far!
Check "Spam" file, many times over the years I have accidentally sent read emails there, and once one is sent others follow.
Do you have multiple email accounts? I know I do. Check that you are looking for the emails in the email account that you have registered.
Thanks for all the help, but I only have one account and have checked Junk/spam files. There is nothing there. I guess I might have to live with it!
Harvey is it possible that you at sometime blocked the emails and they are now being blocked at your server, thereby not getting through to your mailbox.
Maybe try redoing the original link from your members profile.
Just a thought.
I had the same issue with my AOL email. Mail from this site suddenly stopped coming. I tried all the steps mentioned and even contacted AOL to no relief. I finally changed my address here to my gmail account and I’m fine. I’d delete my AOL account but it’s so widely known, so I don’t dare.
Glad you finally got around the problem, but I can't do what you do since I only have one E-mail address. The only thing that bugs me is not getting over-bid notices. I just have to remember to check my status occasionally and live with not getting notices.

It seems as if some of my messages from SOL have started again after a two week break. Did any one of you do something to help - if so, thanks! If not, then they might stop again at any time, fingers crossed and knock on wood!!
I wasn't sure where to post this. I used to get e-mails from SOR about daily activity, overbid notices, etc. But am getting none of that now. Is anyone else having the same problem, or is it just me?
