Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Was asked by mum to have a look at her pc today, she's been sending emails but a few people haven't received them. By the time I'd updated her pc, and her outlook express to windows live mail, 4 hours had been lost forever Tried sending a few emails to my hotmail, they didn't arrive, but showed in her sent items. In the end, in utter despair, I rang oringe teckernickel sooport in Bangla fooking desh, who after about 35 minutes on hold told me that orange is having a problem communicating with other servers so therefore millions of emails are being lost every hour So, if you're on orange and sending emails using orangehome.co.uk email addresses, forget it for a few days, they won't get to hotmail, gmail, and other webmail accounts, they will be lost for all time! I wasted 5 hours of my life today finding that out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More reliable too. I just configured outlook with 2 accounts for my mum. So she could receive emails on the gmail account and her freeserve one but could only send and reply from the gmail one. After 12 months I just removed the freeserve one and she never noticed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, that was the first thing I tried I was trying to get her to use hotmail, but she said she doesn't "trust" web based mail because it isn't secure, she then hit me when I suggested she was a bit past sending dirty pictures. Just hoping orange get sorted, can see me having a nightmare with this one .............. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just send a mass email telling everyone the new address but don't tell her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
