Try changing the e-mail address associated to your account. Just change it around and resave it.

Maybe something has been lost in the Database, resetting it could restore the problem.

changed the email account to the profile then sent a test PM to myself under the changed then changed back account and nothing to either (that rules out going to Junk folder or ignoring the email cause i know for a fact that the one i changed it to has never been sent it so it should of been in Junk or the New folder)

i guess this might be a server issue...maybe?

I think that may be it TheWho.
I registered.  I recieved the activation email instantly.
I sent myself a pm.    I got the notification instantly.
So we know its working on your site

Gmail is good, Yahoo sometimes takes up to 24 hours to send it.

Hotmail is really bad for labeling e-mails for spam when they are not. If you do find an e-mail from us in your inbox, immediately mark it is "Not Junk".

I have the same problem with the e-mail server at my work. Everyone on G-Mail and Yahoo get the e-mails fine, but Hotmail marks all of our newsletters as spam and trashes them.

Check your junk filter settings. Lower them.

Hotmail is the worst sometimes they will say they accept a message but then it never arrives inside the inbox nor the junk folder.

For my work I do very large email campaigns for companies and hotmail just plain sucks heh.
