Which Email programme
Do any of you guys have problems with your emails
I use Windows Mail (Vista operating system) ,which i believe is a newer version of outlook express.
The thing is ,at least 2 of my mates dont recieve my emails ,well one recieves around 30% of them ,the other doesnt recieve any at all
When i send them,they go to my sent items folder, and none ever get returned to me ,so it seems as if they've sent with no problems
I have since opened an email account with Googlemail ,and both guys have recieved all emails ive sent them with Google
I'd really like to keep using Windows mail, as amongst other reasons i just click on it from the start menu , and it opens, where with Googlemail, Yahoo, or even Orange (my Internet service provider) etc you need to type in user name and password
Any of you guys with same problem

Can't see a connection (no pun intended). Either it gets sent to a valid e-mail address, or it doesn't. The receiving account won't differentiate between what program it was created in.
I still use Outlook Express and Outlook for most e-mail. Sometimes I have to use the webmail option and it will give me an undeliverable report, so I just resend from OE or whatever.
Maybe the ones rejected had something in common that the recipients e-mail program couldn't handle?

Cheers Stratman,
The thing is , i used to have the very same problem with my old pc when i used Outlook Express , but only to 1 contact who used Hotmail
Forgot to mention that both contacts who don't recieve my emails both use their internet providers own email programme which is AOL
The fact that when i send them, and they are going to my "sent items folder",and not returned to me would seem to point the finger of any problems being at their end Mind you,i ts strange that when i sent the exact same messages with google ,the recipitents recieved them
Also I was only sending text, with no attachments .
Thanks

I use outlook and windows live desktop rather than web version all work ok, with outlook you need to press the send and receive button or email will remain in sent folder, aol use different ports for the imap/smtp settings worth checking, but I think you just need to press the button mentioned, before you close email programme.

Re: Which Email programme
Could it be that the AOL system is blocking the Microsoft mail messages as it thinks they are spam?
Re: Which Email programme
Have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for 6 or so years now
Can pick up your googlemail with it via IMAP too.
Micro$oft Outlook etc is rubbish

Re: Which Email programme
Get the guys to check their respective spam folders, I use AOL (good service in my opinion) I have to check the spam filters from time to time if an email goes walkies.bikerpiker wrote:Still sumfin strange happening,..the 2 mates that i email use AOL, but they dont recieve my emails when i use "windows mail"(vista)...so i email those particular two with Googlemail
