Problems with "lost" emails. OE-G.mail and Hotmail related.
 

Hi.. I have an interesting and perplexing problem and I was
wondering
if anyone here could possibly shed some light on this for me.

I have a friend that has Hotmail and I have G-mail. Now... we get
some of our email.... but not ALL of them.

This has resulted in me missing dinner invitations and her thinking
that perhaps I was ignoring her emails.

Now... we are both in each others address books correctly and
assuming
everything is OK with how we send them etc.... what are some
possible
causes of this mail just getting lost in Cyberspace?

Is this common? Perhaps Hotlmail and G-mail don't like each
other...? LOL and if anyone could offer some possible solutions
that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Do the missing messages show up in your Gmail webpage inbox? Do the missing
messages show up in her Hotmail webpage inbox? If not, OE has nothing to do
with it.

Hi... and NO... they cannot be found ANYWHERE. I am not really
saying anything is the cause of this, including OE. That just happens
to be my email program.

I guess another question would be.... do emails sometimes just get
LOST, for whatever reason, in CYBERSPACE?

The puzzling aspect of this is that I do get MOST of the emails....
maybe 90% or so... but not ALL of them.

Thanks again.

The most common cause of missing mail is spam filtering. This can be on
the mail server or the recipient's PC or mail program.

In some cases, the messages end up in the junk/spam/trash/bulk folder on
recipient's web mail.

In some cases, the recipient's mail server bounces the messages back to
the sender where it might be treated as spam.

Be sure she has something in subject line and at least one word of TEXT in
body or some ISP's will filter it out.
