I'm not receiving a confirmation email from Launchpad when I register. I've tried twice, I'm using gmail, I've checked my spam folder, and it's been a few hours.

I just tested Launchpad. It is sending emails. I used a non-gmail
address.

Launchpad uses x-headers to mark the origin and intent of its messages
to simply mail filtering and tracking, but I do not think gmail supports
this kind of filtering.

X-Generated-By: Launchpad (canonical.com); Revision="7316";
Instance="launchpad-lazr.conf"

I believe the message will be from

Login Service <noreply@launchpad.net>

Okay. We're talking about gmail here. You're telling me I can't use gmail with Launchpad?* Because of some x-headers? Thank you, Curtis. I appreciate your letting me know what's going on. I'm going to go process that, and when the time is right, I'm going to create another email address, point it at my gmail account, and start participating in Launchpad. But right now I can't because I'm just dumbfounded.

I'm not sure Google Mail supports filtering with the headers, but it can
still receive mail from Launchpad. I use GMail/POP with Launchpad just fine.

Right. GMail can't filter it, but it doesn't flat-out reject the mails.
Chris was being sarcastic, I think, because Curtis's suggestion didn't
make any sense at all.

Gmail sometiems takes many hours almost a day for some emails to go though. I found this out by actually subscribed to many email lists.

That is not I meant. You can use gmail as many user do. Gmail is not the
idea mail app (though it may be the ideal data cloud). I think you need
to be patient. I got my reply from launchpad in less than two minutes,
so I am certain Launchpad is working well. Gmail has a reputation of
being slow with list mail.

Well, thanks everyone, for trying to help. I still haven't heard from Launchpad. I wanted to thank Valentin Neacsu for his touchpad bug fix (Bug #133060) and also mention that his directions don't make sense to a newcomer unless you start in the root directory. I started in my home folder which the terminal defaults to and it took me a while to figure out why things weren't working. But otherwise the directions were perfect and when I finally completed them my touchpad worked perfectly. Like others, this touchpad issue was almost a deal breaker for me. I'm happy to put it behind me. Valentin, if you're on this list, thank you. If not, possibly someone could pass this message on.
