Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

Just wondered if anyone could help me. I changed my email account associated with my blog about a month ago as I am looking to migrate away from hotmail. I noticed that I get some notifications and likes sent though to the hotmail address and some sent through to the new one associated with the account.

There are no duplicates, and no regular pattern that I have noticed. I'd just like to receive all my email in one place.

I recommend pursuing this with the folks over at Mozilla/Thunderbird.

It definitely has nothing to do with your blog's domain, which email address you use, etc.

Thunderbird is just applying the name from the previous email to all future ones, as our emails all come from the same address.

For example, if I emailed you today as James from [email redacted], then emailed you a week later as MacManX from [email redacted], Thunderbird would probably still list my name as James.

When you receive one of these "Instant" emails (as you describe), they are all sent by the same email address.

Thunderbird is attempting to help you by filling in the Sender's name from a previous email from that address, in this case the title of the blog from the first "Instant" email that you ever received.

This is definitely a Thunderbird issue, and I have verified it myself. Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do besides hope that the Thunderbird folks fix this bug.

We just heard confirmation from a user with a similar problem that Thunderbird "helpfully" applies the Name of the first email received from a specific email address to all emails from that address.

Since subscription emails are sent from the same address, Thunderbird is applying the name from the very first subscription email it received, which is why all subscription emails carry that name for you now.

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of Thunderbird, and we can't correct it from this end.

I did this twice The last time he asked me to quote number 1293243 in the subject line if that helps. To try and summarize Any 'Instant' notifications I get via email are coming from 'one' blogger even though they are from others. Also when I get comments via email they are also coming from the same person. This first occurred August 16th and has yet to be resolved.

Also, the site linked to your username is set to private so people cannot sign up for email updates.

If you are going to keep your site private, then you add users at settings > privacy and they will have to sign up for a wordpress.com username and password. You can add up to 35 for free. If you need more than that, they you would have to purchase the unlimited private users upgrade.
