[ARCHIVED THREAD] - EMAIL EMERGENCY (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 3/19/2017 8:50:23 PM EDT
| About 2 hours ago I stopped receiving all email. I know I have over 200 new messages as I have ebay items starting and ending around 8:00 eastern. Between ebay gunbroker and PayPal I should have 200 plus new messages. I got zip. I logged into my provider and they show nothing new since 6:30 PM. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me at the same critical time. Any ideas? I called them last time and we got nowhere. They had no answers. It is not my computer, It is not coming into their server. |

Get a new service provider. If you are using "free" email stop. You won't get good support on a throw away trash free account
Problem solved This is like asking us where a letter is that you should have received from the post office mailman. If you didn't get it - the only people that would have a remote shot to find it is your service provider - but they aren't going to look hard for a free account |
| I really do not know the correct answer. They are serving a ton of 13,000 people. It has to be on their end. To some I guess this funny but when your email goes down at a critical time and you run an online business it is not so funny to me. I just thought some one here with some real knowledge might have a viable answer. Maybe it is like a photoshop thread and i don't get the answer until the 2nd page? |

After the first time this happened you should have switched to a more common provider like gmail. Small ISP are notorious for email and routing issues.
My suggestion is if you are using your email to make money is get a domain and pay 5 bucks a month for Gsuite or Office 365. You will will never miss a message again. |

If you're running a BUSINESS on your ISP provided email, you're getting *exactly* what you signed up for. Ever wonder why other businesses don't have emails that end in @charter.net or @timewarnercable.com? It's because the ISP would actually prefer you NOT use their free w/ service accounts for business, much less do they want to actually be beholden to a reasonable SLA. Maybe spring for a real email account somewhere that you actually PAY for professional level service. |

It's not really that it's funny, but what you're asking is along the lines of "Hey guys, Southwest cancelled my flight--can you help me un-cancel it?" If your ISP has a problem with their email servers, they're the only ones who can help you with it. Get a GMail Account at the bare minimum. |
