Was your FSCS email diverted by Spam filter?

Was diverted by spam filter to junk mailI'm with TalkTalk and am still waiting for first email. Tried sending the blank email to generate an auto reply but that has not worked.
The simplest way around this is to sign up for an email address with googlemail or similar then log into your icesave account and change your address there, repeat the blank email process and you should get the emails.
Others here have done this with success.0 -
Arrived in my usual inbox okThankyou to everyone who has voted/replied so far although obviously not everyone who received the email as spam has posted to let me know who their ISP/email client is so the results are inconclusive.
However, I've collated the few results we have and it seems the ISP causing most problems is TalkTalk as many people are reporting they haven't even received the email via this server. It also seems Outlook frequently diverts the email as spam so check the junk box if you use it.
ISP's:
TalkTalk - many people never received email
Plusnet - 3
Ukonline - 1
Hotmail - 2
Eclipse - 1
BTinternet - 1
Orange - 1
Email clients:
Outlook - 4
Vista Livemail - 1
The one thing that has remained consistent though is the fact that approx two thirds of us have received the email without a problem, which although is less than satisfactory, it's a far higher number than some would have us believe.
Thanks again everyone and please feel free to continue posting and I'll update the numbers as we go along as it might just help those who are still having problems receiving the email :beer:“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0
