Not able to receive emails

I have a plusnet webmail account which I dont use that often but I logged into it today as I'm changing mobile phone providers and my account is still linked to my plusnet address. I havent received any incoming mail this year which is unusual for me. I did a test email and was able to receive an email to one of my identities but not the other (the other being the main one I use and all external contact would come into). I can send emails from both identities. I've added both identities to my Mail box (I didnt use to have them both there never seemed to make a difference) and added a catch all to the alias but doesn't seen to have made any difference, still no incoming Mail. I know I have an insurance policy renewing soon so really need to get my mail working.

Hi @suziem1

 

My apologies for the delay in responding to your PM.

 

Could you please log into webmail via http://webmail.plus.com/ using the Suzanne mailbox and once you're logged in, send an email to yourself (again, to the Suzanne mailbox) and let me know if that comes through?

 

I've taken a look at your account and there's nothing from this side that would indicate an issue with that mailbox.

 

Thanks

 

Dave

Re: Not able to receive emails

I've never logged into my mailbox separately, all of my emails have filtered into the Suziem inbox. How do I log into the Suzanne inbox?

Re: Not able to receive emails

 

Hi @suziem1

 

The login details would be as follows:

 

Username: <username> (for the primary account)+<mailbox name> - so in your case username+suzanne

 

Password: Your account password

 

Thanks

 

Dave

Re: Not able to receive emails

Fix

If you're logging in using the username as username+mailbox then the password isn't necessarily your account password. It'd be the password you set up for that additional mailbox.

To change the password, log in to your account itself Here and go to Manage My Mail Here.

Let us know how it goes. Smiley

Re: Not able to receive emails

I can send and receive on 2 identities and send on further identities but if I reply to the latter I receive an error message address unknown. Is there a limit to identities?

Re: Not able to receive emails

Hi @Vmac, thanks for getting in touch. I've checked over your account and can't see any issues with your initial mailbox or alias's that you've set up.The only thing I can think of that could be stopping the incoming mail to one or a few of these alias's would be if they were set up recently as it takes up to 30 minutes for it to take effect.here
There is a solution I have in mind that may help, if you enable catch all on your mail mailbox then if for what ever reason your alias's don't receive and forwards on your mail to your mailbox then the catch all feature would send it there for you. The catch all feature works by any emails addressed to <anything>@<your username>.plus.com with <anything> literally being anything, will be forwarded onto your desired mailbox. This should help with any messages that aren't picked up by your alias's or with anyone sending you emails that may incorrectly typed. The catch all feature can be turned on via the "manage my email" section of the member center here.
I hope this helps.

Re: Not able to receive emails

Brilliant, thank you. I must have done this ages ago for my other identities but forgot what I'd done!
