Hotmail account not receiving email

Posted on October 30, 2009 under Email, Hotmail  |  20 Comments

I am not able to successfully send emails to my son’s Hotmail email address from my embarqmail email address. I have been sending emails for years but recently he has not received my emails. I do not receive an error message nor do the emails I send come back……I don’t know where they are going. I have contacted Emabarqmail and they tell me the emails are going to the Hotmail address. I can receive emails from my son’s Hotmail address…..but he does not receive my emails. And, all my other emails are being delivered. Could you please advise as to what I need to do.

This is indeed a weird issue. The problem appears to be with one specific Hotmail account which is not receiving email… and it had been doing so for year… so what’s wrong? It would be impossible to provide a clear-cut solution and I can only offer the following troubleshooting tips.

New computer and email

Posted on October 30, 2009 under Email  |  Leave a comment

I trashed my old computer and bought a new one. Can I have the same email address on it? If so, how can I use my new computer and that email address? If not, where do I go for another email address? I am a not tech savvy so please go easy on me.

Kimberly, on your new computer the same email address will work without problems. But since I don’t know the operating system your machine runs or which email service and program you have been using, the options can be varied. So for the benefit of all, I would walk you down the most popular path. And no, you don’t need a new account though you can get an email address for free from one of the three best email services in the world.

Outlook Express with Comcast and Bellsouth

Posted on October 28, 2009 under Email, Outlook Express  |  Leave a comment

I have used Outlook Express with Comcast email for years. Now I am moving out of state and will be taking up Bellsouth.net internet service. I want to save any emails that I get during my moving and relocating, be able to see them after set up in new location, and continue service. How do I get Outlook Express to work with Comcast and Bellsouth without losing my emails?

Outlook Express with Comcast and Bellsouth email accounts

Since you’ve been using Outlook Express with Comcast account for some time, the email client is already configured and would be storing the messages on your computer. Changing the service from one ISP to another would not interrupt email messaging unless, of course, you cancel the old account. Thus, to ensure that emails sent to your Comcast account during the relocation are not lost (or returned to sender) continue maintaining the Comcast account. By the way, if the Comcast ISP email account has been your primary address all these years I suggest you don’t cancel the subscription till all your contacts are informed of the change in email address (assuming you would be now using the account provided by Bellsouth).
