I am wondering why our saves in the mail box are gone. So far I have never seen any save mail in there except for sent mails in the sent box. I checked the settings but I could not find anything suspicious. Any one knows what's going on here? Edit: I believe the saves are gone. The total amout of memory used is equal to the mails in our sent box.

I entered my email address so I receive (and so far save) all .savs. Let me know if any one turn is of particular interest to you, and I can forward the email (proper details provided) or even upload it here. Weird, yes. We're being sabotaged... Man, Alpha is good.

It's possible that you have used an email name which, for whatever reason, gets filtered. You could try changing the email address to something completely different to see if it still happens.

I solved the issue by forwarding the mail to works e-mail account. Today is the first time I have seen a save.

Before we all start forwarding the saves to us, it should be noted that only 4 addresses are allowed to do this that are not part of 1bcciv domain. While forwarding solves it for a few, it doesn't for all.

Heh, I'm not checking out .savs when I'm not playing turns, so I only need to be on the list every now and then. I also wouldn't mind having a k0.ol 1bcciv email address, if that solves anything...

I have a theory... If anyone is using Outlook/Thunderbird or another similar email client, then it could be interupting the emails... I've noticed on my 1bcciv email that if I have thunderbird active, then the emails will sometimes only show up in my Thunderbird inbox and not in the webmail box. To test this, we would need anyone who is viewing the email address with a similar email client to stop doing it for the time being and just use the webmail interface. This could help us determine if this is the problem or not.

I'll stop doing that for a while but shouldn't be the issue since we were getting the saves in the begining but they were then being deleted some how... unless Zig was having them forwarded from the very first turn.

Zigeuner (10/19/2007) unless Zig was having them forwarded from the very first turn. Um, nope. I'm also not using Outlook/Thunderbird, just hotmail. Ahhh... I think we have a winner. If you are using hotmail to check the 1bcciv email, it is likely deleting them as soon as it sends them to your hotmail. You might check your settings, but I'd bet that's the issue.
