It's been known for at least 4 months that there is no email notification for answers to own posts, like an Apple engineer confirmed here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656787?login=true

Why does it take so long to fix a basic issue like this? How long will we have to check daily for new answers without being able to count on a simple notification?

there is no email notification for answers

Normally I’d recommend that you file a bug against DevForums describing your requirements but in this can I assure you that the folks involved are well aware of the need for this feature. I cannot, alas, say anything more beyond that. I’m not allowed to discuss The Future™.

Thanks for speaking to us. It's just frustrating when you don't hear anything for months about a feature that is as basic and important as an email notification.

@Nickkk I do confirm it works for me (experienced today). There was an answer posted to one of my own message for which I had activated the bell. I received a mail notification within minutes.

Note however that my own answers to my post do not trigger a mail notification, which seems logical.

I’m confused now. Did it work 2 weeks ago and now it doesn’t work anymore?

Yes, in general. The problem discussed on that other thread is new. Prior to that notification emails were working fine for most folks.

As to why they weren’t working for you, that’s hard to say. Once the general problem is fixed you should re-test and then post back here if it persists for you specifically.

@Nickkk Just in case, here is where the bell is (but it doesn't work for me at this time).

Nickkk, you should retest and see if this fixed things for you as well.
