Last night I went to bed and I hadnt finished all my emails. I had about a hundred left over. When I woke up this morning I had 510. Mostly myLot. Do you let all responses come thru your email. Do you shut off reminders of certain myLotters? I let all responses come thru. The only time I shut them off is if I feel that I am being targeted or a person is looking for a fight, then I shut off their notification. DL

Hi, Dloveli. Wow! 510 responses? You're popular! Lol!I haven't been here long enough to block someone or feel the need to shut off responses yet, but I think I'd be the same - only if things were perhaps getting personal or abusive, etc.
If I have a lot of responses to the same discussion, I find I just have to open one email to get to the discussion to answer them all, then I can delete the rest from my inbox, so that it doesn't look so overwhelming.
Sounds like you'll make your payout this month though!:)

No my darling I dont think its that I'm popular. Its because I talk alot and always have something to say. My discussions are crazy, inquisitive, and fun to answer. I am nosy. I admit it. I ask questions that I really want to know the answers to. Popular no. Nosy? yes. Thanks for the thought. dl

I usually get between 75 and 100 emails from myLot. I keep my list of friends small but have all the notifiers for them on. I am pretty choosy in whom I accept as a friend.

I think the number of responses that I get depends on how many discussions I started. I think that is the only time when I get an email. Maybe there might be some other reasons for getting emails too, but I am not being able to recall that right now. Another time when we all get emails is the Mylot digest. I think all of us might be getting that. I have all the notifications on, so I get all the emails. I have not shut off any and I plan to keep them going for a while henceforth.

I get approximately 100 if they are working right. Last week I was only getting about 25. It just makes it easier to get friends discussions.

I have a couple hundred friends on Mylot, so I probably get about 1,000 e-mails a day regarding myLot. I have a special Mylot folder that they all go into, so they don't drown out other e-mail, but so that i can also see how many I get. It is nice, because with all my notifications turned on, I know exactly when one of my friends have published something.

Me too, Danish. I have all my notifications turned on as well. I love the fact that these people chose to either accept my friendship or chose me as one of their friends. How can I not want to know when they've started a discussion or replied to mine. I love all my mylotting friends. dl

um..i think 100-150.it seems like i don't always get all my mails at once.
could be my mailbox capacity.i don't shut off anybody unless they post spam after spam "join xyz site under me".

It all depends on how busy I am whilst logged into My Lot. If I contribute a lot and create discussions then I tend to receive a lot of emails. I just delete them all and then I start responding to every single response on My Lot. I don't shut off any reminders personally. I haven't been unfortunate enough to receive any nuisance responses but if this were the case then I would certainly restrict receiving certain emails from a particular My Lotter! Andrew

I get a lot of notifications from mylot but not 510! I don't think I could handle that many. I let all my responses come through, too. The only time I don't respond to them is if they've started a discussion on a subject I don't know anything about. Also, if I'm tired, I just might wait and respond to it the next day. If it's just something I don't care to discuss, I don't respond to it. I hardly ever get any notifications from anybody who is looking for a fight or from anybody I feel is trying to target me. If I did, I just wouldn't respond to them and maybe delete them as a friend. Kathy.

I really don't know as I have never counted them, but I know I get quite a few, maybe more than I want. At least getting notified, lest me know that my responses are being read and commented on, and that part is good. I rea every one I get and if someone asks me a question, I will respond back to them, as that is only common courtesy to do so, as when a question is asked, I will answer if at all possible. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I try to answer all of them as well. Lately I have been receiving in the upwards of 300 emails a day. I am having trouble answering them all. Now I answer depending on topic. I dont answer most political discussions. I was always taught that religion and politics arent good discussion topics. Thats how I make my choice. I hope to hear more from you soon. dl

Hi D.loveli, I have most of mine turned on but not all. I'm surprised that I only get a few alerts each day...why I'm surprised I don't know...it's always the same dozen or so people who post discussions.I wish I could come up with ideas for discussions but I'm at a loss. There must be many like me who are unable to think up ideas for discusions.

I've never actually counted but I'd say around a hundred. All of my notifiers are on b/c I don't see the point in having someone as a friend if your going to turn off their notifier.

I only received below 100 mail notification. Some are my friend’s discussion and comments on my response. I am so sad to know that there are people who attack people and it can happen here in Mylot. I just got to think, why don’t we just get along and respect others opinion. We can still give justice to our beliefs without attacking others. We can still voice out our views without hurting others isn’t it? Or just sometimes there are people who can’t accept others beliefs and only hears what they want to hear. If that will happened to me, I will shut off their notification too to avoid them. Mylot is my second home, I want to be happy staying here. First of all mylot is a friendly site and ti don’t want to meet a future enemy here.
