Hi
I sent a friend an email recently in USA and it got bounced back - no explanation or codes - just the raw email. I think she may be annoyed with me and was wondering if she has blocked my email address - I'm a nice person really and cant understand this. Dont want to write or phone or text until I know whats going on.:A I use Hotmail.com

The header of the bounced email should show the reason it bouncedHow do I add a signature?0

Oh dear... how needy. It's not you... or anything you've done.... it'll most likely be one of the following:
- you typed the email address slightly wrong
- she closed her account or didn't pay her bill
- their server is down or some piece of kit's broken
So:
- check and double-check the email address and that you typed it 100% correctly.
- try again later/tomorrow.0 -
Thankyou very much for the replies
Pastures new - I am surprised that you seem to think I am needy
