<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Surely instead of just using email to
let users know about comments on changesets and notes, there
should be some sort of notification on the OSM website as well?
There already is a notification in the top right corner for
unread messages - this should be extended to changesets and notes.<br>
<br>
There will always be some people who have problems with emails
getting through to them, so they shouldn't be solely relied upon.<br>

I've seen a few different ways that emails can "not be delivered";
the good news is that they're all user-fixable.<br>
<br>
1) One kind of problem is over-zealous spam filtering by your
email provider. A bit of training (regularly checking spam
folders and fishing valid mail out) should work here. If it
doesn't, change your email provider. With gmail (which your list
mail and mine are using) I occasionally have to check the junk
folder to fish out non-English emails, but otherwise it's pretty
good at spam recognition.<br>
<br>
2) Another is that you've tried to change email addresses in the
past and not confirmed the "new" address. To fix this go into "My
Settings" and change email again, this time making sure that you
click on the link within the "Confirm your e-mail address" email.<br>
<br>
3) A third problem I've seen (but pretty unlikely to be the case
here) is where you'd specified to your email provider that you
want email delivered to a particular host and then for whatever
reason that becomes impossible (perhaps the target server goes
down). Again, fix the problem that prevents email delivery,
reconfirm the settings with your email provider and hosts should
start retrying again shortly.<br>

The ubiquitous Pascal Neis has an answer that's actually far
better than a workaround. Using the userid for a particular user
you can browse to e.g.:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=9065">http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=9065</a><br>
<br>
or you can click through from an entry in e.g. <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussions?c=United%20Kingdom">http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussions?c=United%20Kingdom</a>
