Whatever you did Joshua did the trick....

I guess the next issue needs to be titled "HUG A WebFlyer Staff Member".... :)

Thanks,

William

Still not receiving talkmail on hotmail :(

When will the next issue be out? Did it just come out?

Needed to know so I can keep an eye and see if it comes through this time. It's been ages since I received any issue. :(

Given Dovster's post in TB, I assumed one had just come out. Like you, I haven't had one in quite some time :(

I just received my copy last evening.

Mine turned up in my spam folder at Gmail -- but then Google decided it appeared to be a phishing attempt and disabled all the links! Thankfully the text included the links, so I was able to cut and paste to read the highlighted stories, but I wonder why it triggered the phishing alert...

We sent the latest one out yesterday evening. It's difficult to guess how long it will take to distribute to the entire list, but generally they're all delivered within a day or so.

After missing 2 I have received this one and the last one. Guess aol (gag) 'allowed' it through (nothing in my SPAM folder at any time).

Still Nothing!
 

Two days passed. Inbox, nothing. SPAM folder, nothing.

I've done everything I needed to do, whitelist and resubscribe...Are you certain our new TM system has no issue with the excite site? All the big-boyfriend spam emails arrive on a daily basis to my email account with no problem. Just not Talkmail in sight.

Please! I just want my TalkMail!!!:(

Nothing yet ... I'll keep looking.

Happens to mine too...

In the drop-down list of the options in gmail (top right of an open message), there's an option to flag to gmail that it's not phishing, if enough of us do this hopefully someone might do something about it.

Got to wonder why gmail thinks it's a phishing attempt, perhaps an SPF record or such like might help?

After receiving mine without incident for months if not years, suddenly gmail is giving me the same as above. Flagged as phishing, all links disabled. And it came to the inbox not the spambox.

(Thx on that not phishing button btw, I looked for ages and never saw it.) :D

Nowhere in my mailbox!
 

TalkMail (October) is still not being delivered to my excite account.

There are definitely issues between TM and excite.com. I've reported this every month since this summer. HELP! :(

I've gone through the subscribe several times and gotten to the "Thank you for subscribing to Talkmail." message, but I've never received the confirmation page in my @msn.com e-mail (inbox or junk mail). I've tried at least six times in the last 24 hrs. but no e-mail.

I subscribed once to my @fastmail.fm e-mail, got the confirmation e-mail by the time I got to my inbox, clicked on the confirmation link and got the welcome e-mail by the time I refreshed my inbox.

On my @tampabay.rr.com e-mail, got confirmation e-mail in inbox, clicked on confirmation link, got welcome e-mail in inbox.

On my @webtv.net e-mail, got confirmation e-mail in junk mail, added domain @webflyer.com to my safe list, clicked on confirmation link, and got welcome letter in my inbox.

The real problem is that the @msn.com e-mail is the one I use daily.

I'll try to remember to post if I don't receive the November issue in any of the ones that worked for the sub.

Confirmation Email Doesn't Guarantee Delivered TM Either!!
 

Even I did get confirmation email (again) in my @excite.com address several months ago (with the new designated @webflyer address), TalkMail has yet to be seen. I have been diligently reporting this problem on a monthly basis. I used to have TM delivered on time without any issue. The transition "glitch" has costed me TalkMail.

Without seeing confirmation email, your problem with the MSN account might be more "severe" than mine though.

At least my problem is known when I fail to get one of a dozen sub attempts to get a confirmation e-mail, with yours you have to wait for another month each time.

Either way they need to work these problems out!

I just cannot seem to receive Talkmail to my hotmail account either. Despite doing everything recommended, it's just not getting through :(

Same for my gmail... :(

Here's something new, or is it old? Today I received the Talk Mail from July 5, 2007--Happy Belated Birthday to America from FT. Who knew there could be a snail mail email?

I got that today - summer specials :eek:

Cheers.

Update:
@msn.com still can't even get confirmation e-mail
@fastmail.fm not getting TalkMail in inbox or junk mail
@tampabay.rr.com not getting TalkMail in inbox or junk mail
@webtv.net not getting TalkMail in inbox or junk mail

@gmail.com can't get confirmation e-mail

Is anyone still attempting to remedy these?

Has the November TalkMail come out yet?
 

If so, I guess I missed it AGAIN, didn't I? :rolleyes:

I thought the "new owner", IB, was supposed to take care of the "technology insufficient" side of FT, if there were ever the need. From all I know, the TB Election info wasn't updated as quickly as possible and Randy confirmed IB's tardiness. FTers are complaining about the insane/crazy ads/banners. We have hamsters on strikes that slows down FT(:p:D). AND, the TM problem has been going on and on for MONTHS (at least two seasons, from summer to fall), and the non-delivery problem is still going STRONG.

I thought it was meant for FT to be better, "technologically", I mean. I guess I am so wrong. I didn't see improvement. No one gave us updates. No one cares about us "TalkMail orphans". :(:(:(

Update:

@msn.com - finally got my confirmation e-mails (2 in my junk mail) almost two days after they were requested. We'll see if I finally get the TalkMail issues there.
@gmail.com - finally got my confirmation e-mails (5 in my junk mail) over a day after they were requested. We'll see if I finally get the TalkMail issues there.

Update:
I finally actually received TalkMail on Thanksgiving at 2 e-mail addresses:

@msn.com
@gmail.com

-Ed

Still Not in My Gmail Nor Excite
 

Good for you, ed1. Unfortunately, I am not as lucky as you. I guess it means no Thanksgiving for me. :rolleyes:

Nothing ever sent, or should I say "received" in my @excite.com since June 8, 2007. That's the last Talkmail I ever received, even after I resubscribed (3 times) and had confirmation email on 8/22/07. Eight more issues were published but zero received.

As for my Gmail account, I subscribed and immediately got confirmation email on 9/26/07. Between 9/26/07 and 11/23/07, the only issue I ever received was the 10/11/07 one, "In Search of FlyerTalk". Technically speaking, that was not a "real" Talkmail. Gmail originally identified it as SPAM, I whilelisted it right away. Even so, according to TM archives, during these two-month period, 5 issues were published but NONE was delivered to my gmail account.

Is this a webmail issue (which I doubt it) or FT hamster issue? If the confirmation email came through, why not the real TalkMail??:confused::confused:

Being non-techie and all, I am perfactly able to follow all the tech instructions, which I did. Still no TalkMail. What else am I supposed to do in order to get TalkMail showing up in my inbox? :mad:

Good question, I wish I had an answer for you. After several months of subscribing to several different e-mail addresses, I've only gotten two to finally get through.

Both my @msn and @ gmail accounts landed it in my spam/junk folders, but I clicked the not spam/junk. Hopefully I'll now continue to receive TalkMail in those inboxes. At least the e-mail account I use daily has received the first issue, now if it will only continue.

To make things even more confusing I was getting TalkMail at my @mail.ru account which was being forwarded to my @webtv.net address and going to my inbox that way with no problems until I subscribed to it at my @msn account and canceled my @mail.ru subscription, but a direct sub to the @webtv address isn't working yet.

All I can say is good luck!

Update: No 12/5/2007 Issue!
 

FWIW, I am still not getting any TalkMail. I am not surprised. :rolleyes:

I am reporting my most recent update, even our Hamster Team is way beyond giving giving us any update. :mad:

12/19/07 Issue in Gmail, Not Excite Account!
 

After the dozens of resubscribing on 12/08/07, my Gmail account finally got the 1st issue of TailMail. However, there's still NOTHING in my excite account, even the 12/08/07 confirmation email was received immediately without a problem.

So what's the problem for the real TalkMail to get through when confirmation email was successfully delivered and received? :confused::confused:

Gmail works but...
 

Got the last issue a couple days ago in my Gmail account. Still nothing in my Excite account.

The confirmation email carries no bearing at all, it seems. I am a firm believer now that channel between TalkMail and Excite.com is completely shut down.

The latest TalkMail did not arrive in either of my FT email addresses :(

Kiwi Flyer,

Must be that new feature to not send the Talkmail to anyone who is mentioned in the actual newsletter... :D

Great blog by the way!

No talkmail to chexfan's gmail either... :(

The newsletter is actually still sending, so hopefully you will still receive it. The bigger we get, the longer it takes to run through the entire subscription list.

Just received my @msn.com copy in the last few minutes (time sent=2252) and my @gmail.com copy earlier, but not sure exactly when (time sent=1803), so there seems to be a great amount of time during which they are sent out.

Do I Smell Bad
 

The proper link is http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=777819 Can we get this corrected? I am beginning to get PMs complimenting me on my flattuence.

OMG... that is funny.... OH... no it isn't .... oh, yes it is.... :D

Talk Mail did arrive several hours after I posted. ^

:D

Mrp Alert, you can pin that one on me. I sincerely apologize ... I evidently mis-pasted when I was putting TalkMail together :eek:

I will correct the mistake in the archives section. Unfortunately, there is no way to correct the emails that were sent. I'll also be sure to publish a correction in the next issue.

Sorry about that :(

Thanks for correcting the smelly mistake. Ironically, I caught a mild case of food poisioning in Utah today. hehehe....

Finally I See TM in My Excite Account Again 3/13/08!
 

I am so shocked!

After not seeing TM in my excite account for ages, I gave up the hope back in December. Without changing anything, I just checked my excite account this morning and I SEE TM! :eek: That's the first ever since last May (or June?)!

So what's the secret that TalkMail is communicating to Excite all of a sudden? ;)
