Yahoo - hotmail combo problem

GMLSKIS · 10-25-05, 04:26 AM

It just started this past week. If I send an email from yahoo to my friend with hotmail she doesn't get the email. Since I have both I even tried to send from Yahoo to my own hotmail account and did not receive it. I can do the reverse and it works. I'm wondering if because of spam problems these days if hotmail has decided to block all incoming yahoo email. Anybody out there know anything about this?

I've seen this before. I had to add the Yahoo! user's address to the whitlelist in my hotmail account. Good luck!

Maybe it's time to upgrade (can we say gmail?). I gave up on Hotmail about 2 years ago due to similar problems. Missed several personal (potentially REALLY personal) e-mails. Now I'll never know how she really felt about me.

I have gmail also but never use, maybe time to start using it. I emailed both Yahoo and Hotmail with the problem and no replies back yet. I can send fine from My hotmail account and friends get it. It's just if I send from Yahoo to a hotmail address they don't get it.

Another vote for gmail. Much better lay out.
