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...

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!!!

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.)

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.

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

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.

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

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?
