LJ and Gmail, a bad romance?

[muckefuck]

Does anyone else here have LJ notifications sent to Gmail address? Since I switched e-mail accounts a few days ago, I've found that the two don't seem to be playing well together. As of this morning, I've only seen notifications for half the comments on the last WotD post. So I posted (and deleted) a test comment myself and never got an e-mail about it.

I haven't ruled out LJ weirdness, since I used to have this problem occasionally with my old account as well. And test messages from my work e-mail as well as general correspondence seem to be getting through okay (albeit slower than was the case before). Maybe I should go with a Yahoo e-mail account after all?

Update: I think I may have figured this out! I seem to falling afoul of the Gmail feature which collates mail from the same addresses. So whereas I thought I deleting one notification, I may actually have been trashing two or three simultaneously.

I get my notifications on gmail, but I only get announcement from LJ and one of my friends, usually all comments. But I haven't figured out how to get notifications from all of my friends consistently - not sure how the setting defaulted as I haven't altered them. So, I don't know that LJ and Gmail are all that friendly.

I will say this given the data-mining google does, and the threat of a microsoft-yahoo merger - having accounts in both places is a hedge against future corporate weirdness if one must choose as it were. I have both.

At this point, I'm considering creating an account solely for notifications.

In gmail you can set up a notifier so you don't have to keep a browser window open.
