Frogslegs Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 For many weeks now I have had problems at weekends sending emails. O.k. to recieve them though. Is it something to do with the server being busy do you think. I am with Mellecom. Anyone else with same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderhorse Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Are you using their mail system, or an on-line mail e.g. gmail? An awful lot seem to go slow at weekends. All to do with maintenance and server upgrades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I am having problems with my wanadoo email as well. Some of my messages don't get sent and I only find out about 4 days later when I get a message from them saying it could not be sent.Its very frustrating.

Cassis Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 No problems but I don't even know what Mellecom is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Turn you "read receipt" option on Dotty, then you'll know if people have read your mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 NB You'll only get a receipt if recipients choose to tell you - if they do not have their own e-mail options set to automatically or manually reply to "read" requests then you won't get a receipt even if you request it. Some people block all such requests (to avoid confirming their email address to spammers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 True, but if only one person in five responds, it helps a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The thing is I don't send hundreds of emails, its only a handful, but lately I've had problems sending and receiving using my wanadoo.fr email. Does anyone know how I contact them and ask what's going on.I returned to using hotmail, it seems to be safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It sometimes is a result of your ISP (in your case Wanadoo) being seen as a source of 'spam' so you end up with undelivered mail due to other ISPs blocking anything that comes from Wanadoo, although I do not use it myself I have read reports that Gmail is very good but you will need an invitation, there may be some kind soul on here with a spare invite for you.[:D]best regardsDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Dotty I've got a spare gmail invite if you want one. PM me your email address and I'll organise it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogslegs Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Mellecom is just the company I pay each month for internet use. I use outlook express to send and receive email. That is about all I know..I think they use wanadoo as the server! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
