I can't figure out how to change it so hotmail allows it, so I think I'll just change it to my gmail.

Gibbo · 01-27-2009, 04:35 PM

I also get emails from this addy promotions@direct.ebookstore.sony.com

lilac_jive · 01-27-2009, 06:55 PM

Hooray! I finally got one! And I didn't have to change my email address.

YIPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a tip for those who do not receive Sony emails : I had to check the 2nd option as well in the subscriptions before receiving these emails. I have them all checked now and I get them.

The 2nd option is "Yes, I would like to receive emails from Sony Electronics and its affiliates regarding other products, services and offers that may be of interest to me."

It doesn't really make sense because the first option says "Yes, I would like to receive eBook Store newsletters and information about eBook Store special offers and promotions." You'd think that would be enough...

Hey!! I got one today too!! yay!!!

I sent an email to my ISP and have not heard back from them but received my first one from them as well. I dont have the second box ticked if that helps anyone. but did change the email address on file then changed it back and rechecked boxes 1 and 3.

Here is an image of the latest email from the Sony ebook Store, received 1/27/2009.

Good evening everyone. First, I wanted to thank everyone who has helped and given me advise on how to get the emails from Sony. As I told you in my last posting, I switched to GMAIL. I was going to POP3 it, but decided to just forward ALL emails from GMAIL straight to my regular ISP. I received my first SONY email this afternoon, the first time ever.

As a side note, I thought some of you would find this interesting. If you remember from my last posting my ISP wanted me to forward a link to SONY where they could go and put in a request to UNBLOCK future emails. I took a look at that link last night after posting, and all it requested was the IP address for the email address. Thanks to everyone's posting, I had that email address handy, so I went searching, and quickly found out what the corresponding IP address was. I typed that in and submitted it for review for unblocking. I know that's not entirely honest, but I really doubt that I would get someone from SONY to do that.

Well, when the email from SONY downloaded today (the one that was forwarded from my GMAIL account) I also received one from SONY sent to my regular email address at my ISP. It has been unblocked by them. So, anyone using the same ISP as I have will now be able to receive their SONY emails and never have to go through the trouble that some of us have went through. I'll stick with my reliable GMAIL account though. I don't want to miss out on something valuable. :-)
