Message Forwarding

Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 12:53 PM

To make Webmaster Tools' Message Center more accessible, we've just made it possible to forward messages to your personal email. The Webmaster Tools Message Center is used to communicate confidential information about sites you've verified. This may be anything related to your site, from details about potential issues with Google's Webmaster Guidelines to confirmations of actions taken within Webmaster Tools like changes to site-wide settings. To enable the feature, simply update your settings on the Home page.

Messages can be forwarded in any of our 40 supported languages to any email associated with your Google Account. To associate another email address with your Google Account, simply click on the "My Account" link at the top of the page and verify the new email address. All emails will be sent from <wmt-noreply@google.com>, so update your spam filters to make sure you don't miss these emails.

The comments you read here belong only to the person who posted them. We do, however, reserve the right to remove off-topic comments.

Pretty, but incredibly bad usability. Popular items are hidden or removed, and we now have to click many more times for the items that are there.

Great feature. However, you shouldn't really list all the Picasa Web Albums usernames in that drop down list as they're not valid email recipients.

@malcolm, can you give an example of what is harder to use?

@tony, thanks for catching that issue. We'll look into it.

You may want to fix that redirect looping issue so people can log in to the service again.

@Michael, can you clear your cookies and go to google.com/webmasters/tools/

Please include the trailing slash. It should work.
