email issues

I've been having a difficulties receiving emails from certain companies and certain people. For the longest time I didn't receive any emails from Netflix because they said my address was not updated. No longer an issue for some reason but that was happening for years. Now, I am not receiving emails from a family member with a gmail address. Why is that? He receives mine but I don't get his!

Thanks

Sounds like the 1st problem was with your Netflix account ... "...because they said my address was not updated", not with Cox e-mail service.

The 2nd problem, not receiving e-mail from a family member's gmail account, could be on your family member's part also.  Hard to tell without looking at the e-mail headers.  Are they getting any message, rejected message notification, anything indicating the mail didn't go thru?  It's not a generic gmail issue, I can send from my gmail account to Cox account without issue.

On you end, I would check your spam filter settings.  Login to classic webmail and select settings/SpamBlocker settings.  If the 1st option, "delete incoming junk",  is checked, if their e-mail is caught by Cox's spam filter, it will be deleted and you will never see it.  Select either of the other 2 options, one will move it to a spam folder, the other just tag the subject line.  Either way, you will be able to see the mail and determine if it's caught by the spam filter.

Hi Endorn16,

Follow Allen's suggestions for changing your Spam Blocker settings in WebMail, and then ask your family member to send you a test email from Gmail. Please let us know what happens!
