I am really stuck !
I was receiving emails on my webmail (from provider) which also went to Outlook and to my android phone (via G mail)
I was getting a load of returned undelivered spam so I changed my password on my webmail account (no problems with Outlook) but struggled with my phone,
finally went into G Mail from my PC and changed password there - my provider account is still shown as the defaul e-mail. BUT -none of my e-mails now go to either Outlook or to my webmail- they all just go to GMail.
I am very confused .,..

Can you clarify a couple of points.
I was receiving emails on my webmail (from provider)
Does this mean your service provider - ie an ntlworld.com/sky.com etc email address.
And do I read your post correctly in that you have previously set a 'forward' for all messages from your service provider email account to both an outlook.com account and a gmail.com account?
Do you use your service provider email account as your primary address or do you give out your outlook.com or gmail.com address? Maybe you use all 3 for different reasons?
If someone sends directly to your outlook.com account then do you have any forwarding configured to any of your other addresses? (such as your gmail?)0 -
Hi, My main email address is [EMAIL="????@madasafish.com"]????@madasafish.com[/EMAIL]. That is used by by Outlook and my webmail on the madasafish account.
Before I changed my password on the madasafish site I had e-mails forwarded to my phone by gmail.
I dont have forwarding from anywhere else - just put the [EMAIL="??@madasafish.com"]??@madasafish.com[/EMAIL] address in my phone and everything worked OK...until I messed !0 -
There are two ways to get mail from one account to the other - the first is to forward it from your webmail (using a forwarding rule) the second is to use POP3/IMAP within Gmail to actually collect the email from your webmail provider.
Which option are you using? If it is the latter then you will need to update the POP3/IMAP settings as it will be using your old password and therefore won't be able to connect to your webmail.0 -
I think that I was collecting it - when I got my new phone I just had to put in my @madasafish.com email address and password so I am guessing that I have to find the POP3 setting in Gmail ?
Thank you - you must be VERY clever0 -
