I'm an annual pass holder based in the UK and have never received a single AP email.
We are there from March 23rd for 9 nights so I really hope we can get a preview ride as we leave on April 1st, before the ride officially opens.
We are also DVC members and never get those emails either!!

Will be stalking this thread in the hope that someone posts a link (if different to that in the first post) for us non-email receiving folks
