Title: Emails from contact not being received.
Post by: Goosegirl on February 22, 2019, 14:04
I have a saved contact in Canada whom I've often been in touch with. The other night he rang me because he'd had no response for his emails that were sent to me in the last fortnight and wondered if I was still on this planet! The next day I sent him one but still had no answer from him. He rang me again last night to say he'd received my email and not only replied to say he'd got it but sent me another email. Still nothing there today and it's not in my junk box or anywhere else either. Anyone got any clue as to why this is suddenly happening as I've never had any trouble before.

You wont believe me but it's the school holidays.

Your emails are more than likely sitting in a spam trap, big brand email servers get listed on them when the kids have the machines on all day sending spam. I'm forever having to reroute email for customers using BT particularly.   >:(

Thanks Lardman. I've just emailed him with your answer so will see if it does get sorted. BTW, I use Windows Live Mail, not that probably makes any difference.

Are you going to your email website, eg hotmail for hotmail emails as it might be being filtered there and not going to where you view them

Yes I am, as I only have one email address and have always viewed them via Windows Live Mail WLM). There's also an icon for BT Mail but I don't use it; anyway it shows the same emails as WLM which I also checked in case they'd gone there and hadn't been transferred.
