I thought I would post this as a thread as we have had several issues recently with Excite.com email addresses. They are a popular alternative to Hotmail and we have a lot of members who use that service. They filter out mail coming from the ISP thinking it is SPAM. You can add singledivers.com to your safe list easily.

I have an Excite account myself so this is how you do it. Go into the mail function. Select "Preferences" Then select Junk Mail Controls.

You will see "Safe List And Block List". Just type "singledivers.com" (without the quotes) to the left of where it says ADD and then click on Add. I added a picture to help you.

Thats it. Just save the changes (In the top left corner). From that point, any mail from singledivers will get through to you. :thankyou:

The other web mail programs will be similar. To avoid getting your mail filtered, you should check and make sure SingleDivers.com is on your safe list.

Contact me if you have issues.
Remember, email is an inefficient communications forum. You may not read things the way it was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt before firing back... Especially if it is ME...! ;)

Won't necessarily work with all of them though, e.g. MyWay web mail intercepts singledivers.com before it gets to my filters, even though I've added it to my safe list. I have to be content with getting pm's only when I log in to SI.

Have you asked them why? And if so what has been their reply?

Here is a review on MyWay. It appears as if they pre-filter their email on a single set of rules before passing them to the filters. In that case you would not be able to affect incoming mail without changing the rules. Unlikely they would make an exception, but heck, give them a try and see... :wakawaka:

There is a link near the bottom of the page with 16 free email services. I note Excite is not on there even though it gives 1GB of email and is free. GMAIL at #1 is the best on the list. I avoid Hotmail simply because of the security and access issues I have seen over the years.

No dear, I haven't. I use MyWay primarily as a home page. Their e-mail is secondary to my needs, and I use it mostly for the purpose of registering on various Web sites that require it. I log in here often enough that I'm not concerned about missing any messages. Besides, you have my primary e-mail, that's all that matters.

Oh I get it. Just a thought...only SD Staff can use a person's email that they register in our system and we do not even mail out a newsletter :teeth: so its pretty safe. You could if you wanted the notices change your email to your primary email and you'd get the notifications. But if you log in frequently enough then as you say...its not a big deal to get the notices. In fact I turn them off personally! :cool2:
