someone not receiving my emails

Guest

one of my friends does not get my emails. We are both on outlook express and
bt yahoo and she does not get any emails I send even if I reply to one she
send me. I do not get a failed delivery report and I am not on her blocked
sender, spam or trash. Everyone else gets my emails and this is really
annoying us - any ideas.?Everything was okay up until the beginning of the
year and neither of us have done anything different as far as we know.

Send one to her, but instruct her to check her ISP's Web mail instead
of using OE. If the message shows up in Web mail then something on
her local PC is blocking the message.

A while back, any mail I sent to an AOL recipient was rejected by AOL if
their scan found 'www.freeservers.com' in the message. However, I did
get an immediate reject. That problem seems to have gone away. An ISP
might not deliver a message based on content or subject line by their
filtering, but you should see a rejection but who knows.

Are you allowing OE to autocomplete her address ? if so, manually
address an email and try that.

I have manually input the address , cut and pasted, and replied to one she sent me........ neither of us have changed anything and when I send emails, I usually send to maybe 20 people at the same time.....I also sent one via the btyahoo web email today and she didnt get that either. It is just bugging us so much now, and if she can email me, is the problem my side?

Since most ISPs allow up to 8 or more addresses, I might create a new
address and add it as a new Profile under OE. Try to send using that
address. If received that would preclude software/settings on the PC
blocking the address and point to an issue with your Day-to-Day profile.

if you can receive her mail, but she can't receive yours, then possibly she
has got your e-mail address blocked, ask her to check her settings again and
look in the blocked addresses, she may have done this by mistake.

If copies of the sent messages appear in Sent Items folder (assuming you
have the option enabled) and you're using the correct address, the problem
isn't on your end (and vice versa).

HI - Sorry reply is late as I have been away. Yes - an email from a new address was delivered to her so you are correct. However, I cannot understand why she cant get any from my old address when all my other contacts do? It is just bugging me. Would the problem be her end, although she is adamant she has checked everywhere. I suspect some sort of filter but she says not. Anyway - thanks for solving the main problem!

It would certainly appear that way. :)
