I haven't been receiving any emails notifying me of user talk page changes for quite some time now. I do have it enabled in my preferences. There doesn't seem to have been much point enabling this for en.wiki if it's meant shutting it down for all wikis.

You receive one single mail when the page has been changed by someone else after you last view. The mechanism is only enabled when you revisit that watched page.
My hot tip:
- goto your watchlist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist ; and - click the button "Mark all pages visited"
Then, enotifs should be triggered for changes by somebody else.

Aaron, does that solve your problem?

I appreciate the tip. I discovered the true culprit. All the notification emails were being marked as spam by Gmail. Interesting. I don't remember marking them as spam. I will create a filter and add wiki@wikimedia.org to my contacts to ensure this doesn't happen again. Thanks for your attention in this matter, regardless.
