Can anyone think of a reason why there should be a difference between creating a new email and a "reply to.." email ?


My Mother-in-law is on AOL and still uses their email system (why, I don't know) - which is now run by TalkTalk


I am on Nildram - which is TalkTalk and she has to "reply to .." my emails rather than create a new email - or she gets a "recipient unknown" error message........

    Has she got your email address recorded correctly in her contact list?

    Check the text before the "@" Possibly misspelled. (The alias may be spelled correctly but the underlying address may not be.)

    Has she tried removing you from her contacts list and re-adding you?
    (This is just to rule out issues with the contact-list address).

    I will get her to double check, but last time that I asked her, she had definitely got the right address down !!
