Can't receive Plex emails/newsletter no matter what I do

I’ve seen other posts about this on here, since closed, regarding the same issue. I’ve tried the “turn the setting off, wait, and turn it back on” several times. I haven’t received an email from Plex aside from things I’ve prompted myself (like a password recovery email, etc) in years, in the life of my Plex accounts.

I’m just wondering what I need to do to fix this or if somebody can manually toggle the account variable for me or something. I’ve checked spam, I’ve checked filters, I’ve done all of the typical “email troubleshooting” steps. As far as I can tell they simply aren’t being sent, regardless of my account setting.

If anybody has any advice it would be appreciated. Sorry if this isn’t the correct place to post this, but it’s where I found all the other topics related to this so I figured I’d just go for it.

Please send me your email per PM.

Done.

Three days later, was I supposed to hear something back or am I just doomed to never receive these?

I just checked and it shows it enabled for your account now on the backend system. I’m not sure why it was not updating when you toggled it.

VPN’s can play not nice with mail

Thank you. I’m not sure either, and I tried from multiple computers - the main one the server is installed on (a dedicated machine), my main gaming desktop, even my phone. Nothing is behind a VPN or proxy or anything of the sort. Weird.

Just a stab in the dark, try a different DNS and restart everything.

8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 for example.

Been using Google DNS for as long as I can remember, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 off the top of my head.

DNS has nothing to do with the ability to receive mails from Plex. At least if you can receive other mails regularly.

The mail system shows several attempts from your account to unsubscribe from newsletters and back on.
Inbetween that and today, there haven’t been any regular mailings going out.
But there will be one next week, I’m told. So look out for this.

(If you expected to see regular offers to buy Plex Pass at a discount: these mails only go out to a small group of users, based on some changing filter criteria, which marketing decides on.)

I appreciate the help. I assumed the Plex pass offers were sent to people using some formula to determine who would be most likely to not buy a Plex pass without an offer; why give somebody that’d buy it anyways a discount? Honestly, it just became a nitpicky thing for me - I’d done everything I could and anything listed in other support posts and still couldn’t get the newsletter and I just had to figure out why.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.
