Bump - anyone?!

It seems to be just PM notifications. All other notifications are coming through ok.

Any errors in the ACP -> Maintenace -> Error log? What is your package size set to in the ACP -> E-mail settings page? :)

I have the same problem, all other emails are sending but not the PM notifications. I've not got any of those mods installed, so its probably not a problem with them...if that's any help.

I have just put a new install / server onto a separate domain and sent a message to myself from a test account and after 5 minutes the notification came through.

That may be the answer?!

actually scrap my last update. It seems only the admin can recieve notifications. Users can not. Surely this is a software issue given the fresh install?

Hooray... Success.

Changed the email package size to 0 from 200 which has resolved the issue.

The default package size in a new install is 50, so it's interesting that yours was 200 :o but by setting it to zero you have disabled the queue so that they are sent immediately. :)

Thanks for your PM oxfordsi - sorry couldn't reply as i've not got 5 posts yet. It somehow fixed for me by changing to sending through the smtp server.

Not sure if changing the package size to 0 is the best idea, won't some hosts object to that?
