Email notification is a great feature! It's an efficient way to direct attention of mentors straight to the application of interest. However, when the link fails to work, it leads to a dead end which is more trouble than just ignoring email notifications altogether.

Many of us have more than one google account. If your default browser is logged into the "wrong" account, then you will get this rather abrupt message when you click on the links in email notifications:

"This proposal is not made public, and you are not the student who submitted the proposal, nor are you a mentor for the organization it was submitted to."

If there was an indication of which account you were logged into and a link to switch/logout, his would help tremendously

For now, you can try this workaround. Go to:

http://www.google-melange.com/login

When that happens, and refresh the page with the error message.
