+lgxkls Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Help, I don't seem to be getting any geocaching emails to my Hotmail account. I've checked that my email address is correct and that Geocaching hasn't got put on my junk mail list. I suspect mail has been going missing for about a week. My husband is getting messages to his NTL account so is it a Hotmail problem. Thanks for any help Karon Quote Link to comment
+Starbugs Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 We have Hotmail and have no problems this week, have you checked your notifications settings in your account page to see if they have changed? Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Does hotmail not have something like a 1mb email limit on their accounts? I would check that your inbox isn't full. Googlemail is so much better there is literally no limit. Quote Link to comment
+lgxkls Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 I have checked the notifications and hotmail limit is 250mb and I had only used about 2% so I don't think that was the problem. I changed the email address in the account page to another I had and then changed it back and I suddenly got a message to activate my account. So somehow it must have been deactivated -don't know how. Will just have to wait and see if I get any messages now. Thanks for the replies Karon Quote Link to comment
polygoon Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Some time ago we had the same problem. I putted the email adress where the notifications come from in my contacts and the problem was solved Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 No problems at all with my Hotmail account, all Geocache.com emails are being recieved. Weekly bulletins and cache found notifications. Quote Link to comment
+Pieman Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Today, I have had the same problem with my hotmail account. Everything was fine yesterday. Quote Link to comment
+Caching Scout Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 No problem with hotmail BTW, I have been saving every single geocaching.com e-mail since I joined and I still haven't passed the 6% mark yet. (I have 5 GB of storage, near my google one) Quote Link to comment

+lgxkls Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks for all the replies. Its nice to know it wasn't just me and a few mail messages from today have come through now, but not the ones that I have missed during the week. Perhaps they'll turn up later. Thanks again Karon Quote Link to comment
+careygang Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Over the past month I have 'contacted' our Reviewer over here (Nevada) 3 times with no response. As I'm assuming they are not just ignoring me, perhaps there is an issue with mail via GSP profiles? Quote Link to comment
+Bambography Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 People with Hotmail - Do all your GC.com emails get stopped with the nasty red header warning you that they might be unsafe? I have gone through all my settings and filters and they all say to let them through. It looks like Microsofts Sender ID doesn't know it and therefore stops it. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment

I have gone through all my settings and filters and they all say to let them through. It looks like Microsofts Sender ID doesn't know it and therefore stops it. Anyone else? No, my hotmail messages do not have the unsafe sender warning. As a previous poster mentioned I have now added GC address to my contacts list, so hopefully that will have helped. I'm now getting messages but I suspect the ones I missed in the week may be gone for good. Regards Karon Quote Link to comment

+webscouter. Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hotmail throttles e-mails coming from Groundspeak. So sometimes it takes longer for them to be sent out as Groundspeak is only allowed to send so many messages in a set amount of time. If you have Hotmail complain and ask that they stop throttling mail from Groundspeak. Quote Link to comment
