Interesting! I just went through my one of my inboxes, sorting by sender, and the last statement notification showing is dated January 23, 2010, followed by the annual privacy notification on January 31. Then I checked a different e-mail account (my life has gotten far too complicated), and they're now arriving there, so I guess I changed e-mail addresses. But I'm still getting promo e-mails at the first account.
If they're still sending you e-mails, they should be able to tell you when they sent out the last one. 
Ask them to forward it to you. That will show if they sent it at all, and if so, to what e-mail address.

Why not consider yourself lucky not to be receiving what amounts to spam? I used to try to get the CCCs to stop sending those statement-ready e-mails but they all refused. Fortunately they haven't figured out how to disable the delete button.

I think HSBC is trying to trip people up. Luckily, I have all of my statement dates saved in a spreadsheet that I check a few times a week. I'm OCD in that respect.
I think you're doing the right thing here. I keep records of when I receive my statements, too. Knowing when to expect it, I just go to that CCC's website on the next day, and there it is. Easy.
BTW, what's OCD?

Interesting suggestion on the bookmarks. I have mine organized functionally (family, financial, medical, ...) and wasn't aware that date-based organization was an option. I'll look into it.
Bookmarks vs favorites isn't literally a Windows vs. ROW distinction. I think of favorites as IE terminology, but you don't have to use IE under Windows (but admittedly, MS tries hard to make you). I have to use WIndows (why? udonwannano), but use Mozilla Firefox for browsing, almost exclusively. That's where I'm familiar with bookmarks, anyway.
Oh, that's right. It blurs! I escaped to my Mac two years ago, and now that I think about it, I had FF there as well.
I don't think that you can hit a button to organize bookmarks chronologically. I just list the accounts in order, including their statement dates as part of their names.
Here's what it looks like when I click Bookmarks (I dug this up off of an older post of mine, so one card's gone and a new one is now on the list):
So whenever I click on Bookmarks for anything at all, my memory is jogged by seeing this. As the proud owner of a flaming case of adult ADHD, I need visual reminders to save me from myself.
Thanks, hauling (and sorry for the delayed response, been preoccupied with "other things" for a while). I see what you mean now.
Here's how I handle that. It's a bit OT for this thread, but everyone else seems to be finished with it anyway. I use an Excel spreadsheet for recordkeeping of all my regular payments -- not just credit cards, also property taxes, utilities and telecoms for two residences, all kinds of insurance, etc., and oh yeah, my income. Whenever I receive a bill, I update that entry in the spreadsheet with the new due date and amount (the amount has become a littly tricky with the PIF-before-statement trick I learned here). Excel calculates when I have to schedule the transaction, based on other entries that show how fast my online bill-pay can deliver to that payee. Every Saturday, I resort the list according to the transaction dates, and schedule the next week's worth of payments.
Excel also has a nice feature that mimics your bookmarks: you can enter a hyperlink in a cell, along with a text string. So just clicking on the name of a given payee goes to that account's billing page.
