Why I am not receiving mails from a particular sender?
Connection Issues
It sounds stupid but it can be a reason if you are not receiving mails. It can be possible that there is an issue with the sender’s internet connection. As we all know that for sending or receiving mails we must have a stable internet connection. So if you are not receiving mails, kindly check your connection.
If the email was saved as draft by mistake
Sometimes it happens when the email saved as a draft instead of sending. It generally happens when we are in rush and we do such a mistake.
Emails that contain attachments
Emails that contain attachments are sometimes blocked because they create issues. When you’re sending large attachments, we suggest you to use secure file transfer application instead of zipping them. Zip files are not very safe because they have malware such as CryptoLocker and Cryptowall.
The email is sent to group address
If you are not receiving mails from our company then it might be possible that they are using a group address such as support @ or something else and hey have send the email in the group address instead of your personal email account in such case you need to check in group whether they have receive the email or not.
The sender has incorrect email address
If the sender is sending the email on wrong email address which doesn’t belongs to you then you will never receive email from that particular sender, if they are not following the same address format.
Sometimes email takes time to land in your inbox
It is quite understood that emails are one of the fastest means of communication. Sometimes it takes few minutes for landing in the receiver’s inbox. But it happens in rare cases that it takes hours to deliver the email due to any reason. So if you were expecting any email then it can be possible that it is stuck somewhere that’s why taking time than usual.
Emails are marked as spam
According to me, the email service provider have filters which filter outs the emails which are not found to be genuine. But after all it’s a technology and we cannot depend on it fully, so sometimes its happens that an important email is also marked as spam and redirected to the spam folders, in such cases you need to cross check your spam folder and mark them as safe.
