Email notifications are working for me too Nellie (Not LQT of course). Do you by chance have your computer set up to automatically log you in to Wikieducator and that you may think you have one email set up in your preferences, but it is actually another receiving the notification? Just an obvious suggestion.
Regarding Category pages.. I think Brents suggestion is a good one. If you come across a page that has no category, add a "needs_categorisation" category. I try to keep pages to do with Otago Polytechnic together using an Otago Polytechnic category <http://wikieducator.org/Category:Otago_Polytechnic>. Trouble is, while that category page is on my watchlist, it does not alert me when new additions are made to the category. I need this alert so I can keep out pages that don't belong (for example, Randy categorised a page of his with Otago Polytechnic a while back.. it wasn't anything to do with Otago.. I found it by chance and cleaned it out). The watch feature of the Category page only alerts me if the actual page content is edited, which is no use in terms of monitoring category additions. I had hoped an RSS feed could be generated from the page so I could monitor additions, and I think Jim did do some hack work using a cocktail of technology, but it wasn't possible on Wikieducator all by itself.
