Hotmail account not recieving emails!

Hi,

I have had a hotmail account for years. Recently I realised that I was not receiving them from a contact with a Gmail account, following a awkward phone call were he asked if I had changed my address as I not replying!.

I have checked and double checked the address and have no problems with other gmail mail users. I have recieved emails from this particular address previousl and they recievs them from me. Any suggestions, very annoying:mad:

    Have you added their address to the spam folder or blocked them?

    On your hotmail go to Options then Safe and blocked senders and look on the blocked senders list.

    Strange, I have this problem too but with one person sending from a wanadoo account... I've checked, but they aren't blocked, they are actually in my safe list.

    Don't you need Hotmail Connections for the free accounts. Are you using Outlook??

    I trawled through the hundreds of blocked emails and the email address had sneaked its way there. Hopefully that should sort it;)
