Email suddently wont work
I signed up and been playing a while and have been getting email updates. Recently i'm now told i need to validate my email but nothing seems to work. I never get the validation emails.

Also not sure why it was working and now it is not.

Hi. Have you looked at ‘email notifications’ in ‘settings’?

So I was getting all the notifications.
However my account is now unverified I can't play blitz anymore and it prompts me to verify email.
The issue is that when sending the email it never comes through to my email account.

This may be totally unrelated,but I heard stories like this past years ago.
Many players that are not paying members simply get issues and problems,
including slower speeds,ad content and more.Sometimes even manual ad blocking can give the GK member issues.Paying members get no ads,ever,well,none that I know of.

In summary,I would suggest becoming a paying member or even going to the extent of canceling your account and starting a new one with a paid membership for at least one year to see how it works out.I have had,up until recently a very old computer(over 14 years old)using old windows and more.Yet,I never had an email issue.But then,I was always a paying member.Again,I could be mistaken,but between slower speeds and more,perhaps issues develop with free members.In any case,unless you can't afford it,I would suggest becoming a paying member and see if that works any better?I also suggest a brand new email address,just in case!

Working now.
I think I found out why,
Seems my domain host decided to upgrade my email which wasn't the authoritive email to Microsoft.
While this was non authoritive (the email was going elsewhere) this seemed to be a problem for microsoft delivery which tried to cut corners and deliver to the non authoritive site. However even here they didnt show up.

I've removed setup and now suddently works. I assume this site is using azure or Ms Exchange. Microsoft not following standards was the cause.
