Have you enabled the Email Mode and properly configured the settings in the Email Server Configuration in the Admin Section?
My websites: PalmVenue :: PV Mobile
My Snitz MODs: Categorized Icons

Email is working OK. It sends messages to new users etc.
Email server is configured.
Admin section: in Feature Configuration
I tried Subscription by Category, Forum, Topic but noone works.

You also have to edit each catagory and each forum to enable subscriptions there too.

Login as admin, then you find "edit" icons (a pencil symbol) for each category and forum. Click on the edit icon of a category or forum to configure the subscription settings for that forum/category. By default subscription is disabled for all categories and forums so you have to enable subscription for each forum and category individually.

Thanx, thanx, thanx. Its so sipmle... Jah.
So if I subscribe to a forum, i would be notified by email about every post, right?
Now I have another problem. I should be able to check/unchek email notifying about reply when posting new topic (it should be under the checkbox to add signature below the form). How can I do this?Its just not showing. Is there any MOD or what?

Unfortunatly the email notification checkbox does not exist any more in snitz v. 3.3 and higher. Email notifications are now based on the subscription feature and that means that you can choose to get notified about replies only *after* posting.
There is a mod by HuwR which adds a subscribe checkbox to the post form, see http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17553 for details. I had problems to install this mod however. So I chose another solution for my forum, a sort of workaround which only needs some modifications in post_info.asp and allows to subscribe to a topic immediatly after posting. (It adds a subscribe link on the "thank you" page which you see for some seconds after posting.)
If you would like to try out my workaround let me know.

Thanx. I thought I`m stupid but there was no way to did it. Again, answer is very simple.
So that means you get notified about every post or can you decide on which topic to be notified?
I will try the MOD you suggested but I would also like to try it your way.

You should try Huw's mod first, it is definitely the more comfortable solution if it works... Good luck! (Don't forget to backup the original files before changing/replacing them  )
If the checkbox mod doesn't work for you, here is what I have added/changed in my post_info.asp:
1) about line 1426
case "Reply", "ReplyQuote", "TopicQuote"
' DEM --> If moderated post, the counts should not be updated until after approval
' Combined the Reply, ReplyQuote and TopicQuote because the basic code was the same.
if Moderation = "Yes" then
Response.Write("New Reply Posted! It will appear once approved by a moderator")
else
Response.Write("New Reply Posted!")
DoPCount
DoUCount Request.Form("UserName")
DoULastPost Request.Form("UserName")
'*** added code ********************************************
'give author the option to subscribe to/unsubscribe from the topic
'he has just replied to
if strSubscription > 0 then
CheckSubscription "TOPIC", rs("Member_ID"), Cat_ID, Forum_ID, Topic_ID, "<br> <br>", " "
end if
'*** end added code ****************************************
end if
case "Topic"
' DEM --> If moderated post, the counts should not be updated until after approval
if Moderation = "Yes" then
Response.Write("New Topic Posted! It will appear once approved by a moderator")
else
Response.Write("New Topic Posted!")
DoTCount
DoPCount
DoUCount Request.Form("UserName")
DoULastPost Request.Form("UserName")
'*** added code ********************************************
'give author the option to subscribe to the topic he has just posted
if strSubscription > 0 then
CheckSubscription "TOPIC", rs("Member_ID"), Cat_ID, Forum_ID, NewTopicID, "<br> <br>", " "
end if
'*** end added code ****************************************
end if
2) this one is optional, just to add a bit more comfort.
A few lines below, about line 1460 in the original file you find the following lines:
Response.write "</font></p>" &_
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=" & Request.Form("refer") & """>" &_
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strHeaderFontSize & """>"
I replaced them with the following code:
'*** changed code *******************************************
'if subscription is enabled, set refresh time to 10 (sec)
'to give author some time to decide on topic subscription
Dim RefreshTime
if strSubscription > 0 then RefreshTime = 10 else RefreshTime = 2
Response.write "</font></p>" &_
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""" & RefreshTime & "; URL=" & Request.Form("refer") & """>" &_
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strHeaderFontSize & """>"
'*** end changed code ****************************************
Hope that helps.
