 * I enabled notifications to be sent to my email when a comment has been placed
   on my blog. However my test runs of comments have not lead to emails arriving
   in my inbox.
 * I also want to know how i can enable it to where when a comment comes to my inbox
   that I can reply directly to the commenter’s email instead of posting a response
   on my blog. All of the information I have found for WordPress is from 2009 and
   I don’t seem to have the same options.
 * I am so frustrated! Please help!

 * There is no email notification in WordPress by default. are you using a plugin
   such as Jetpack? If so, please post in the correct dedicated plugin forum.

 * I am not using any other pluggins. I guess what you are saying is WordPress doesn’t
   do what I want it to do by default?
 * When I go to Settings>Discussion> Email me whenever> Anyone posts a comment…what
   am I doing then? Aren’t I asking for an email notification of a comment?

 * Sorry! I misunderstood you! Have a look at [E-mailed passwords are not being received](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#E-mailed_passwords_are_not_being_received)
