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

836 141 Today at 10:49 AM
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?

To be able to receive PMs via email, there are two settings you need to check.

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:

Once you are in Classic, visit this page:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions
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.
