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 think the notifications are sometimes delayed, but I've always attributed that to LJ. (Correctly? Who knows.) I'm pretty sure they always come through, though.

Since they're free, you could always experiment with both gmail and yahoo, and forward whichever one you don't decide to make primary to the other after you're done. (For that matter, Microsoft Live Mail supposedly has some nice features these days, though I haven't looked into it.)

See, now the Internet gremlins are trying to make a liar out of me by putting all of these through tout-de-suite.
