Using a hotmail account for Boinc and want the same for BAM, but can't get any activation mail?

Register a new account with gmail so I can post into this forum.

In the log of the mail server I could find two (didn't look any further) emails send to you (email address starting with a 'w') which were send and received (by the receiving server) properly without errors or bounce.

Thanks for checking, but do you recall if the address is gmail (the email for this account) or the hotmail one (the one I am trying to register)? The username is same for both, so maybe there was some confusion.

I asked hotmail about the issue, but they say boincstats's IP 104.18.56.209 is not blocked.

As long as I don't receive the activation, I guess I cannot link up my existing BOINC account to BAM, which is a bummer.

Emails were send to both gMail (which obviously arrived since you activated that account) and to hotmail.

Email is not send from the BOINCstats server, it is send from the Google mail servers.

You can use the "Forgot password" procedure to resend the activation email.

Otherwise, after seven days a not activated account is removed from the database.

I was able to register again (7 days since), but again not receiving the activation mail... I've tried the forget password before didn't work, guess I will try again...

I'm afraid the problem is not on my end. In the last days several other accounts with a Hotmail email address were successfully activated which means they did receive the email.
