Why Haven't I Received My Post/edit/delete Email?

I waited all day for the posting info and never received the email to post. I resent my ad... wrote a new one, still have not received any email from Craigslist to be able to post my ad for a room I want to rent. Please help me out. I have posted ads many times and never had this happen. All the info is correct. Thank you.

Craigslist provides these suggestions for the issue you describe:

If you are using a free email account (like Hotmail and Yahoo), make sure you have not exceeded your mailbox storage limit, and check your bulk/junk/spam mail folder(s).
Make sure you entered your email address correctly on the posting form - it only takes one typo!
Some email providers and ISPs have implemented "spam filters" which we have found are often badly designed or misconfigured, sometimes resulting in craigslist emails being intercepted.
Network problems between ISPs can delay email transmission, sometimes for many hours - consider stretching, getting some fresh air and checking back later.

You can also have the missing email(s) re-sent.

If all else fails, try using a different email account provider.
