Flickr can now send email notification when someone leaves a comment on your photos, or when your contacts upload a new photo. Email notifications are probably the most wished feature by any Flickr users. By default, Email notification option is turned off, you can enable email notification from your account page. There are several options for receiving notification, you can either get notification as soon as it happens, or save up all the messages and get a digest email once a day, or once a week.
Previously, when someone leaves a comment on your old photos, it used to get buried under archives, completely defeating the purpose of having comments. Good thinking by Flickr, they should have added it a long time ago. Perhaps, they could even improve by send notifications via Yahoo Messenger.

Personally, I don’t use the comments via email option. I just go to the page if I want to. But I guess some people make LOTS of comments and would like to keep up with them. In that case, awesome tool.
btw, I always forget to uncheck the one down below on this site
Maybe put it above the submit button?

I think they are improving day by day in terms of features.

Well, I’ve enabled that option. Just that I don’t get any comments. But hey, everyone loves comments.

ITs finally time they implemented this . You are right THilak , if the option was not implemented , the whole purpose of comment leaving was lost .
