Thank you for following up on my problem. I would not have been able to figure it out until you convinced me that it was not a WP problem. Here is the sequence of events in case someone else runs into it:
1. All posts that I follow somehow were changed to NEVER (I still have no idea how that occured)
2. I went in and changed them all to IMMEDIATELY.
3. At the same time I checked all the boxes for COMMENTS BY EMAIL (Stupid me - - - I thought they were refering to the new posts even though WP clearly said "COMMENTS."
4. Next thing my Email system saw 5,000 comments coming in and decided that they must be coming from a spam source. So they dumped them in the spam bucket along with all the new posts of bloggers that I follow. TO FIX MY PROBLEM:
5. I unselected all the COMMENTS boxes.
6. I emptied my spam bucket.
7. I am running like a champ.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STICKING WITH ME ON THIS PROBLEM.
Wally, a happy WP user and happy camper.

As for IE's security issue, it sounds like you're running higher than average security settings.

Do you have the same problem with a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome?

When I click on the small icon (top right) of the WP screen that shows notifications of "likes", "Comments", "new followers", etc. and there are more than can be shown on the screen - - - I then click on "view all" I get a list of additional notifications of that type but my sytem shows me
"Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors"
It then gives me a chance to override with a "Show Content" button. I can override and get a longer list of notifications from WP and another message of the same type with another chance to override which I can do until I get to the bottom of the list of notifications for the "View All". My apologies if I have confused the situation. Just thought there may be some type of mismatch between our security certificates for which I would get no Internet Explorer notification (in the Email notifications of new posts - - - the original problem).

That post was posted at approx 6AM and I received it shortly thereafter. No more notifications for new posts have been received but I continue to receive the "like" and the "comment" notifications.

Here is a post that I did not get Email notification on. I have followed this blog for months.

8-12-12 - More Jumbo Perch

It appeared on this blog:

D & B Ice Adventures's Blog

This was posted prior to the Mushroom post above.
And here is one that I also did not receive an Email notification on that was posted after the Mushroom post:

Yesterday evening's sunset

which was posted by

Russel Ray Photos

who I have also followed for months.

> > On "Blogs I Follow" (from the WP logo) I can see all the recents posts since I changed all from never to instant. So WP knows whose posts I wish to see. It just doesn't know enough to send them to me via Email.

I recieved a new post this morning. Lets let it sit for 24 hours and see what happens. I normally recieve at least 30 posts per day from those I follow. I will get back with you either way with an "it is fixed" note or "something still appears wrong" note. Thanks again for sticking with me on this. Wally

So I edited that list, changed all to "i nstantly" and selected the "Email" box for every one of them. I have no idea how they were changed to "never." I didn't even know there was an capability to edit my "following" list. So now I recieved an Email message for every one of them saying that I was now subscribed. Now I must wait to see if I start getting their posts again. Thanks. I will keep you posted if the problem is not completely resolved.
