  • If I directly message someone on here, do they automatically get an email notification?

  • By default yes.

    However... the answer is no if:

    • They've opted out in their notification settings.
    • Their email address is no longer available (i.e. if they signed up a while ago with a work place email, and now no longer work at that place and the email address was deleted).
    • Their email server rejects it (i.e. inbox full, corporate policy, spam folder, etc).

    For the emails we send, >99.99% reach an in box. The <0.01% that don't usually bounce for ephemeral reasons, but occasionally there is an old email address that is no longer available.

    It's about as guaranteed as you've got, and if it doesn't work then I cannot do better (as I would try and email the person, but I only have the same email that failed).
