How to get an email when someone sends you a Direct Message (DM)/Private Message (PM)?

I would like to receive an email any time a Slickdeals member sends me a DM/PM. I currently do not receive such emails.
I have reviewed my email settings (https://slickdeals.net/profile/emailmanagement/) and don't see a place to specifically select that option.
Is there any way to set up emails for any time you receive a DM/PM?

On the page that you linked (https://slickdeals.net/profile/emailmanagement/) - Account Alerts needs to be set to on.
And then additionally, the actual setting to receive PMs via email is currently only available via the Classic version of Slickdeals.
It looks like you are using Redesign, so here are the directions to temporarily switch to Classic:
https://help.slickdeals
Once you are in Classic, visit this page:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/profile.php?do=
and then check this box:
Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages
and then click Save Changes at the very bottom.
Once you are done, you can return to Redesign.
