Not receiving email. Help!

[NovaKane]

Using Horde, I can send emails fine, but when I send a test email from my Yahoo! email account, I never get it in Horde. Or Squirrel, either. I've got only one pop account set up.

Thanks, areidmtm. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. The emails I send from my Blue Host account are getting through to Yahoo! just fine, but mail I send from Yahoo! and a couple of other mail accounts are NOT getting through to my Blue Host account. And they're not getting bounced, either.

Thanks.

OK sorry. Do you have spam assassin turned on? Did you check in your spam box on your email client? And just to make sure, the account that you're send to actually exists?

No, I have no spam filters enabled. Funny thing, though. I went into Horde tonight, and lo and behold: there were all the test emails I've sent since early January. I'm clueless as to why, but it seems to be working now.

Thanks for your help.

Edit:
I was trying to check mail for my default account, but the mail I was sending was going to another account I created. Duh. So now I know how to get back into the right account.

I'm definitely getting this problem. I've had three people send emails to me from their yahoo accounts and they're not getting through. No bounce backs or errors either. I got support to look into it and they don't understand what's going on either! Spam assassin is not enabled. The emails all exist. Gmail, hotmail are fine, just not yahoo. To recap - I can send from BH->Y. Not the other way around. Any ideas?

not sure if it's true or not, but back in the past I remember someone telling me to do this with yahoo, you had to pay for their premium email account.

Completely irrelevant to the subject of this thread. What kind of account you have with an email provider doesn't have any effect on whether the mail gets delivered or not.

[Kimbulo]

I didn't mean as far as getting the emails, but in order to use POP email services, some email providers have it restricted unless you pay. Yahoo for example would not let you use their pop servers unless you've paid their premium services fee to be able to do so.

Now if he's just talking about sending email to yahoo in general and not getting it, then I understand what you are saying. I was going off the fact that he mentioned he had a POP account and mentioned sending 'from' yahoo.

Seems pretty clear to me.

I'm having a similar problem but its within my own company. For example, it takes many hours for user1@mydomain.com to receive an email from user2@mydomain.com. Sometimes these emails are not received at all. yesterday it took 12 hours for emails within the same domain name to be received. However, if the same email is cc'd to a hotmail account, the hotmail account receives it instantly.

This morning 6/18 I sent an interdomain email 2 hours ago, It has yet to be received by the recipient.

I had SpamAssassin on but is has subsequently been turned off to no effect. The emails are not going to a spam folder, they are just taking their good old time getting there.

Please help
Thanks,
Pat

Well, support got back to me minutes after I posted this. It seems the issue was with my my ISP who I was using for outgoing email. When I changed over to Bluehost for outgoing email the issue cleared up.

Thanks support, great job!
