You need to be on Gmail and not AOL for them to work.

I have hotmail. This isn't helpful.

Use Gmail like I said.

Hotmail isn't supported and often deletes the messages.

It is supported. I've been using hotmail for years. Steam email confirmations have worked for two years straight, this is the first time I've got this issue. Do me a favour, tell me if you get email confirmations on Gmail, because what you're telling me may not be true.

Takes 12 seconds on Gmail.

Blocked by Hotmail as spam.

You're a dumbass. I've just said, I've been using hotmail for 2 years to confirm trades, and this si the first case where I have not recieved an email from Steam at all. Get your facts right before commenting here child.

If I'm a dumbass and a child maybe I should stop doing your troubleshooting for you?

Show me the documentation that says Hotmail is supported by Valve Steam.

Confirmation e-mails are indeed going out again. They aren't retroactive, however. If you attempted to make a trade, market listing, e-mail verification of your account, whatever that required an e-mail confirmation, you're going to have to do it again.

Dumb idiot valve, Yahoo mail didnt work again.

It doesn't work for me (still). I have Hotmail, and it has ALWAYS worked before for every single email confirmation I've ever done (bought item on Market, sold item on Market, Trade Confirmation). At least it did until Steam decided to fall apart.

Same here, also using hotmail.

I'm not sure why the poster above said hotmail did not work for email confirmations, as it's never missed one since I've been using it last September.

I can confirm the confirmations are still broken.

I'm not using Hotmail or AOL or Gmail. I've checked all my spam settings and folders. I was receiving them earlier but for the past few hours I haven't been getting them.

Obviously something is going wrong at Valve's end. I've done some googling and this problem has happened before when Valve's servers get overloaded.

Judging from how it's been since the 25th, you should have said "What hasn't gone wrong on Valve's end.

He's just trolling or something; trade confirmations are currently down for everyone.

There's a subset of users on these forums who like to blame every single error on the user rather than Valve because 99% of the time it is indeed the user's fault. However this is one of those rare occaisions when Valve is at fault so "Sooty & Sweep" just looks like a fool.
