Yesterday I posted this question:
1 hour later, that is 20 hours ago, an answer was posted. I didn't receive an email notification for that, and yes, I have checked my Spam folder.
Why is that?

1What are your email settings set too? (To look at your email settings, got to settings, then click edit email settings).– Ekadh Singh - Reinstate MonicaOct 27, 2021 at 14:58

Possibly due to your email settings?

3Wow. I assumed the default was to get an email immediately when I get an answer to a question (and since I never touched that I assumed that was my current setting). Not only is that not the default, it doesn't even exist as an option! Then, I don't see any setting for (or even indication of) WHEN the daily email is sent (btw I'm not even finding a timezone setting in the profile, but I must be missing that). Finally, one single setting for all "inbox"-related notifiications and that's it? I cannot decide to be notified e.g. for answers but not comments? Very poor configuration options.– matteoOct 27, 2021 at 16:13
