What should I do if I am not getting any DesignCrowd emails?

If you are not getting any DesignCrowd emails, please check your Email Subscription settings within your DesignCrowd Account area and make sure the option is enabled or the emails you want to receive are ticked.

Another reason this would be happening is because your spam filter may be blocking our emails. This article details some of the things you can try to fix this in your email client and to make sure our emails don’t get put into your junk mail folder or automatically deleted as spam.

Hotmail

Follow the steps below to add our email address or domain to your Safe List.

• Go to the Options page.
• On the left side of the page, click Mail, and then click Junk E-Mail Protection.
• Click on Safe List.
• Type our domain “@designcrowd.com” then click Add.

It is also a good idea to check your Junk E-Mail folder regularly to make sure that the emails don’t get delivered to the wrong folder. If you find one of our messages in the junk folder, select the check box next to the message, and then click “Not Junk” on the toolbar.

If you are still experiencing problems updating these lists, please go to MSN’s help pages.

Yahoo

Yahoo mail uses bulk mail folders and filters to stop Spam entering your inbox. The first few DesignCrowd emails you will receive may get delivered into your bulk mail folder. To stop this from happening, follow these steps:
