following steps before contacting us as often, the answer is simply to do
with your email settings;

Sending issues
1) Are your email settings correct? Are you seeing any error
message? Please check this article for further help with your email
settings
Receiving issues
1) I can receive email, but I cannot send -please check this article for
further help with your email settings
Please double check that the sender has your correct address - send
them an email and ask them to reply. Ask them to look out for any
error messages.
Send yourself a test message, preferably from another, separate
email account.
Check your spam / junk folders. If you are using SpamAssassin,
ensure to check it via the webmail login.
If using Gmail, Google Apps, Hotmail, Outlook.com or other 3rd
party provider, please log into that account and check if messages
are present there & also check the spam folders.
Check if your anti-malware / virus software has interecepted any
messages - some software programmes can block emails before
they arrive in your inbox.
Ask the sender to collect the header information for the email they
tried to send to you and provide it to us in a support ticket - see
this article on how to do that
Note that emails do not simply "dissapear"! If they are not able to be
sent, or received, there will be a specific reason and the only way to
troubleshoot such issues is to go through a checklist process to determine
what the reason is. You may be asked to perform some additional tests
or to gather further data for us. Your patience is appreciated while we
assist you.
