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?

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.

Has the November TalkMail come out yet?

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

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(). 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.

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.

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??

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?

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!

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

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

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?

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.

Kiwi Flyer,

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

Great blog by the way!

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.

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.
