# email notification comments

 * I have box checked for email notification when comments are received. How do 
   I know where that email is being sent? I’m not getting it, so if it is sent, 
   I don’t know where. The problem is probably mine, but I don’t know how to check
   on that and if necessary correct it.
    Thanks.

 * There were, unfortunately, no responses to this post — a situation I find very
   often now in this forum.
    For those who still participate here: I solved this
   problem by trial and error. WP 2.0.4 My email address as listed in the Dashboard
   > Users > Your profile was the same as the Dashboard > General Options. This 
   listing is noted as “for administration purposes only.” It was created “automatically”
   on installation. I still don’t know what that address means but conferring with
   my host about why I can’t get email from that address, we decided to just create
   another email address for me and that worked for sending and receiving email.
   It is that address that I then changed the Dashboard > Users >Your profile entry
   to my new email account. I submitted a comment and was immediately notified by
   email. Can’t explain why, but this worked for me. I hope it will be helpful for
   others waiting for response to unresolved issues in this forum.
