I posted before Christmas about hard drive problems (Boot Failures), well it died over the holidays, but I had a full back up of everything. New PC purchased, everything transferred over from the offline hard drive except for my ******** email accounts! As I’m self employed and use my PC for work, this is a bit inconvenient.
I have 2 accounts. Focusing on the work account which is hosted with an on-line commercial provider, I have all the historic e-mails on the new PC, and I can receive e-mails no problem. The issues are I can rarely send an e-mail. I have had about 4 out of over 100 actually go out today. The others languish in the outbox, or if I reply to one it looks like it has gone but then I get a message from system administrator saying cannot deliver. I have checked all my settings and they are as before. I have checked with the host provider and there are no issues there. The error message is that it has no internet connection and the sending fails – but there is internet connection as I am receiving e-mails without a problem and I can have the radio on-line through the day.
The personal one is even odder. I have my historic e-mails and folders there too, and I can receive, but when I try to send they appear in my work e-mail outbox, then when I delete them, they are in my work e-mail bin! I have taken that account off the system just now so that I can focus on the work account.
Rebooted lots of times, checked and double-checked passwords and settings.
I’ve moved to Windows 10 from Vista and I am using Outlook Mail.
I’m going to try and go see an IT professional if I can tomorrow, but just wanted to check in case I am missing something obvious or anyone can think of a quick fix?
