Hi,

Thank you for sharing your question. I understand how frustrating it is when you used to receive email alerts whenever someone replied to your post, and now you no longer get any notifications.

Microsoft explains that email alerts for Q&A replies depend on the notification settings in your Microsoft Learn / Microsoft Q&A profile, and you must have an email address saved and notifications enabled for them to arrive.

To fix this, you can go to your profile settings page, scroll to the “Q&A preferences” section, and make sure that Q&A email notifications are turned on. Microsoft also states that you must first provide an email address under “Manage email preferences” so the system knows where to send alerts.

May I ask if you’ve recently changed your email address or turned off any notifications in your profile?

If you can tell me whether you’re able to reach your profile settings page, I’ll guide you step‑by‑step so you can start receiving reply notifications again.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Best Regards,

Noel

To receive email notifications for responses to your questions on Microsoft Q&A, you need to ensure that your email notification settings are correctly configured. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Go to your profile settings page on Microsoft Q&A.
2. Scroll down to the "Q&A preferences" section.
3. Make sure the "Q&A email notifications" option is enabled.
4. You can customize your preferences for receiving notifications about responses to questions you follow, including:
   • Receive email when an answer is posted on a question you follow.
   • Receive email when an answer is edited on a question you follow.
   • Receive email when an answer is accepted on a question you follow.
5. After adjusting your settings, make sure to select "Save" to apply the changes.

By following these steps, you should start receiving email notifications again when someone responds to your posted questions.
