My nationstates cookie got deleted now I can't login and manage my country. When I submit my nation name and e-mail address, it says that I will receive an e-mail with the new password shortly....13 hour laters and no e-mail.

How can I get access to my nation? Please somebody help.

Thanks

You sure it didn't land in your spamfolder? Or that you got the right email address?

Crazy Girl,

I am 100% positive I have the correct e-mail address because I had to retreive my password the same way back on 2/5.

The password e-mailer is just not working.

I would be willing to pay Nationastates to get my country back :(

How do you get somebody from the Nationstates staff to reply to correspondence?

FACT: I created this forum account when I created my nation
FACT: My login works for the forums
FACT: When I enter my nation name and e-mail address to have my password sent, the system replies with "Done! You will receive an e-mail shortly to notify you of Zooperman's new password." (this means the Nationstate system recognizes who I am)
FACT: I do not receive an e-mail with my password
FACT: I can send myself e-mails at my e-mail address just fine.
FACT: I do not have a spam folder
FACT: Nationstate's password e-mailer is not working correctly

Or maybe your emailprovider is blocking the mails....which are you using?

Might help adding the NS email to your safe list?

Comcast .... i guess im just not going to be able to play nationstates anymore.

Bye. It was fun for a few months.

Guess it was a waste of time anyway.

Where is the "safe list" in Outlook Express? I use message rules to send specific person's e-mails to their own folders... no e-mails are deleted or sent to trash.

I get e-mails from this forum just fine on the same e-mail used for nationstates.

FACT: Some ISPs block mail from NationStates before it even reaches you.

Are there any other Comcast users who are having their email from nationstates blocked?

I've received several e-mails from nationstates in the past months on my Comcast e-mail address.

Can someone with a nationstates.net domain e-mail send me a test e-mail to test (and perhaps set aside) the theory that Comcast is blocking nationstates e-mail to my e-mail account?

I have 15 years UNIX systems development experience for Fortune 500 companies. Perhaps I could assist in debugging. PHP is fun.

Problem fixed... Sal sent me a new password (with a nationstates.net e-mail address -- i.e. Comcast isn't blocking nationstates.net addies).

Thanks Sal :D
