Did they check the junk mail and spam filters? It could be that the message is getting filtered out.

Hey guys,
Yes regular e-mail works. There is no particular error, its just that she is not receiving the conformation (not in spam as well).

Check the e-mail address that you registered with. If it was regular McMaster e-mail ( [email protected]), the advice given should help sort this out. But, if it was sent out of Avenue ( [email protected], or [email protected] r.ca), then the problem is that Avenue does not allow any incoming external e-mail. This quirk is a deliberate part of the design of Avenue mail. |

They really shouldn't have based Avenue mail on an actual email system... especially an asymmetric one.
