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 can testify to time delays on gmail for notifications, its not consistently very quick much less instant. For what its worth, I can also affirm Pklexton's note of delays on yahoo - this for regular mail, upwards of hours at a time and similarly a delay in people receiving email from that account.

Speediness wasn't a big concern for me, since these days I'll text if I need an instant answer. But wouldn't you know it that the very day of the changeover I got into an argument with someone that moved to e-mail, and I climbed the damn walls waiting for the first reply.
