I have a contact through GR who is trying to send an email to my A O L addy. He is on H O T M A I L. I can send to him but I dont receive his. They arent going into my spam folder either. Any Ideas? Margaret

Lindy So, what you are saying is that the guy who is trying to contact me, ( I have A O L he has H O T M A I L) has to contact H O T M A I L and get them to allow A O L? I have received emails from H O T M A I L before without a problem. Margaret

Margaret I am now as confused as you are I have read the message from NTL until I nearly know it backwards and still cannot quite grasp if I am the problem other servers or NTL. If anyone out there knows what we should do please tell us. xxhugxx

David I can send to H otmail from A OL but cant receive them back. My daughter has a H otmail account as well as an A O L one. She has just emailed herself and me from her H otmail account and they havent been received. Have H otmail never heard of A O L? How can they be classed as spam? Lindy I'm really confused as well Margaret

Bob I wonder why this is happening to some and not others. It's so annoying, I am in a queue for online help at A O L, I will let you know what they say. Margaret

I got through to A OL online help. I was asked what my problem was. I explained it in full. After about 3 mins, they cut me off. They never even responded to my question. Obviously dont know the answer. Neednt be so bl***y rude though. Margaret

Jean You could be right! I have used A O L online help before in the past and have had good advise. I obviously asked them a question they didnt know the answer to!! Margaret

The guy I was trying to contact with a H otmail addy has just given me an N TL addy to try. That worked I received an email from him. At least thats one problem sorted. Still doesnt sort out the original problem Margaret
