For the last ~36 hours I have stopped receiving emails for messages posted in the bug tracker. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anything changed recently?

My udel dot edu account is handled by google. I am also not getting anything at all, not even in spam, since at least 3/31 when I was added to https://bugs.python.org/issue26673 I only discovered it in the Friday weekly New Issues report. More emails were missing on Friday. The problem continues. I just added a question to https://bugs.python.org/issue19944 and got nothing.

I have had it set to send to my gmail.com address since the beginning. At the moment the last bug message email is <https://bugs.python.org/issue19959#msg262569> with “Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:19:49 +0000”. I have checked spam and they are not going there.

Since at least last summer, Rietveld reviews have consistently gone to Junk. Normal tracker emails sometimes went to Inbox, sometimes to Junk. Since normal emails (but not reviews, unfortunately) are tagged in the subject line, I added a rule to Thunderbird to move tracker email to Inbox when I open Junk. This is no longer happening at they do not even get to Junk.

I tried changing my tracker email to verizon.net and posted a message on on issue where I am the only nosy person. After half an hour, nothing. I am not surprised as Verizon rarely delivers anything it considers junk. I had this confirmed by a game site that said that its emails are deleted unless one contacts Verizon to whitelist their site. I will see if I can again find the page to do that.

I do get checkins and core-mentorship mail. I have not seen anything on core-developers since the discussion of new commits privileges a month ago.
