Email from yahoo to MSN hotmail problems?
%26lt;Edit%26gt; Since she has the same problem with all messages sent from Yahoo! accounts, I assume she blocked email messages from the Yahoo! domain by mistake. Here's a link to Windows Live Help Central https://account.live.com/helpcentral.asp... . This is a screen shot for the page that include the information to remove a domain from the blocked or safe senders list http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr74/... .





Good Luck!


**************************************...


Almost no messages are simply lost in transit. If you have not received a message you were expecting, there is usually another cause.





It is possible one of the following occurred:





(1) The message was not addressed properly.


*************************************


The sender might not have your correct email address. Or, sometimes people make typos in email addresses, but the "incorrect" address just turns out to be someone else's correct email address. If this happened, the message intended for you could have been received by someone else.





(2) The message was delayed.


************************


Most messages are delivered within a few minutes, but messages can sometimes be delayed while in transit due to problems on the sender's mail server, heavy Internet traffic, or routing problems. (On rare occasions, delays can last for several hours or more.)





(3) The sender's address is blocked.


*****************************


The Blocked Addresses feature in Yahoo! Mail allows you to create a list of addresses that you do not want to receive mail from. Mail coming in from one of these senders will neither arrive nor bounce, but will simply be discarded. Did you block this sender's address? Check your Blocked Addresses list by clicking "Options" in the upper-right corner of the page. Under "Spam," click "Block Addresses." Here you will see a list of any addresses you have blocked.





(4) You have set up filters.


*********************


You might have set up filters which caused the message to be sent to the Trash folder or to another folder within your Yahoo! Mail account. To check, click "Options" in the upper-right corner of your Yahoo! Mail page. Under "Management," click "Filters." Are there any filters listed? If so, ensure they are not set to prevent receiving emails from this sender.


Note: Mail in your Trash folder can be deleted at any time. Check your filters to ensure that all your mail is not going straight into trash!





(5) Other possibilities.


******************


Occasionally, interruptions or disruptions in email transmissions over the Internet will render a message undeliverable. While this is very rare, it does happen. Unfortunately, aside from waiting, there is no way to know whether a message has been delayed or whether it has been rendered undeliverable. If a sender can re-send it, have them do that.


No matter what the cause, the best solution is to ask the sender to re-send the message. Also, check your mail again to see if you have received their message.
