Resolved: Issue with CPW Email Alerts to Gmail Accounts

Happy New Year! We’ve resolved an issue where CPW email alerts were disabled and not delivered to a large number of Gmail accounts. This started happening on December 14th, after a Google infrastructure issue with several Google services, including Gmail. We apologize for the inconvenience. (Thanks to reader Brandon for letting us know about this.)

This is a good time to remind everyone about our alerts system, which can deliver emails or push notification alerts about new main page posts. We also have a ‘watchlist’ feature to only receive alerts on posts about items you have on your watchlist. You can manage your alert settings and watchlist here.

If you’re still not getting our alert emails, please check your spam folders and also check here for any error messages, but please don’t hesitate to contact us for further assistance.


If you purchase something through a link on our site, we may get a small share of the sale (at no cost to you). Please read our disclosure for more info.
