Problems receiving e-mail notifications occur when:
- The e-mail address you are using is invalid or typed incorrectly. Ensure that any e-mail addresses you include on pages or in profiles is valid, accurate and, that you have direct access to your mail. Squarespace does not host e-mail; notifications are sent directly to the mail address you specify. To check the accuracy of your e-mail address, click on your name in the upper right of the screen and select Edit Profile.
- The e-mail account you are using has settings applied preventing your mail from arriving. Check your spam folder/junk mail folder to see if mail is getting redirected to your spam folder. If so, change your e-mail settings to prevent this. If you are using GMail, you can mark mail as "not spam" and add a filter to prevent messages from "services@squarespace.com" from being blocked. See Gmail instructions below.
- The e-mail you are using has been unsubscribed. If you clicked the "unsubscribe" link in the footer of an e-mail notification, this automatically removes your address from receiving further subscription updates. You will need to e-mail: support@squarespace.com - to request your e-mail address be removed from the Unsubscribed List.
How to Keep Subscriptions out of GMail Junkmail
- Open your Gmail account on the web
- Click Settings at the top of the screen
- On the next screen click Filters, then click Create a new filter.
- On the Create a Filter screen type in services@squarespace.com in the 'From' box, then click Next Step.
- On the next screen check the box for 'Never send it to Spam' then click Update Filter.
