E-mails from Yahoo Answers??

Why is it that I don't get e-mails when my answer is voted "Best" or when someone answers my questions?

Update:

I have checked and double checked my profile, the boxes are checked.

And no you don't always get e-mails for best answers. One of my answers were voter "best" sometime today, I only found out because my best answers number went up and I noticed that.

Update 2:

I got another best answer but no e-mail. Is anyone else having this problem?

Update 3:

Got another best answer today and still no e-mail.

    You have to set the option in "My Profile" "Edit My Info". You have these choices.

    Email me when I receive a new answer to a question I've asked

    Email me when one of my Contacts asks a question

    Email me when someone becomes my Fan.

    You always get best answer mail.
