Yesterday I sent a message to a module author via the Vault’s “Contact” messaging system. I had checked the box “Send a copy to yourself”, but I didn’t get any copy of my message. I tried again, same (lack of) result. So then I wrote one to Tarot Redhand, and today I also messaged him here on the forums to ask whether he had gotten the Vault message, but he said no.
When he sent a Vault message to me, I got it. When I sent one back, this time without checking “Send a copy to yourself” though, once again, it didn’t.
So it looks like I can receive Vault messages but when I sent some myself, they are lost and never arrive. Possibly get blocked or something? But I also never get a warning. The system just acts like the message was sent but it does not arrive.
Any idea what could be the cause? It worked perfectly fine before (well, looks like my last Vault message is from April, but nothing significantly changed on my system since then - at least, that I know of).
This still seems to be a problem for me. Am I really the only one for whom the message system has stopped working completely and noone knows why that could be? Why is the Vault telling me it sent my messages but they never arrive, not even to my own mailbox, as a copy, if I check that box?
(It only affects the Vault PMs proper, not the PMs on the forum site.)
This is a known problem with the server sending e-mail to g-mail accounts. Not sure about other e-mail providers. Niv is aware of it, but no eta on a solution at this time.
FP!

I sent a message the other day to an unnamed Vault member, and I haven’t heard a peep - and this particular peeper is always there to answer and help - its in their DNA. 
Okay, good to know it’s acknowledged, and that I’m not the only one. Thanks for the reply! 
I guess I’ll have to use the Vault’s comment section instead, then.
I don’t know which providers are involved, concerning the recipients - otherwise I would have tried to mail them directly (this time I tried to mail Nevercast, in the past I’ve unsuccessfully experimented with trying to mail Tarot Redhand - who thankfully I could communicate with via the forum’s PM instead, at least). But I don’t get the messages myself, after checking “Send me a copy”, and my own e-mail provider is Yahoo.
