Hello - I noticed moments ago that when I registered, the default to receiving an e-mail when someone sends me a p.m. is not checked, so I had to click the icon.

Just wondering if there is no cutoff? So if someone had not logged in for say, a year, and someone sent them a p.m., they would not be notified by e-mail?

Thanks.

I cannot answer for sure, but I would assume so. When I originally joined, I checked the option to send an email whenever a topic I responded to had a new reply. I unchecked that option well over a year ago, but I still get the occasional email from some old topic that got revived.

That being said, just because they get a message doesn't mean they'll open it or reply; I have a PM sitting in my outbox that's over two years old.

No, there's no cutoff. At least not until we use up all our fossil fuels and have no electricity for e-mail.
