  • Permanently BLOCK all E-MAILS FROM RUSSIA ru.

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    What email program are you using (name and version) and that is your e-mail provider?

    Most of the programs (including the Web site versions) include the ability to "block" senders, but what that means are really as email is classified as junk and sent mail to the junk e-mail folder.  Outlook and Windows Mail include an option in the junk e-mail options called International where you can 'block' eveything from a specific region (for example, the Russia - I checked my versions and include both programs) and if you have this option I would use it in your case.  Windows Live Hotmail doesn't seem to have this international option but he blocked senders are sent to the folder deleted instead of the junk mail folder and you can block the Russia-specific domain names, but not all of the Russia I could find (if if that's what you use, I'll look at more difficult).

    If sending these e-mails to the junk mail folder is not enough, contact your email provider and they may be able to apply a filter to literally block these emails even never, they appear as junk e-mail (but it depends on the provider).  It's worth a shot.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, please answer the above questions, then I can concentrate my efforts on your particular situation.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot create the e-mail account, but can with windows live mail

    I have a thunderbird e-mail account will not create just I have contacted my ISP and I have all the correct settings, but every time that I get a message saying. Thunderbird could not find your e-mail account settings. but on my other email account with thunderbird Charter set up very well. but when I used the settings to configure the email account in windows live mail, it worked. My ISP told me that this is a problem with thrunderbird. can someone help me please.

    Not a problem with Thunderbird, a problem with your anti-virus crashes Thunderbird to access internet.

    the configuration of the Charter is here https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/charter.net

    Thunderbird can not find, if it cannot connect.

    Check the firewall component of the anri virus and make sure Thunderbird has full access to the internet.

  • If I have multiple e-mail accounts, how can I stop them mail?

    If set up several e-mail in Thunderbird account, how can I keep one of them to send e-mail, while allowing others to send?

    Simple answer:
    do not use the e-mail address by sending or responding or e-mail transfer. The shipment is not automatic, you need to generate the email and click on a submit button.

    You can use an smtp server which will not send using the incorrect for e-mail server, so it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address, you can get an error message, but at least the email will be sent. This here:

    Tools > the account settings for the e-mail account.
    bottom right outgoing - select Server that will not accept send using wrong email address

    OR
    Outgoing Server (SMTP), select the server that you use for this account
    Click on 'change '.
    deliberately made a mistake in the name of the server - remove details of the port etc.
    So the details are false and can not send.

  • Student email account cannot be added for Apple Mail

    I have a new e-mail account to a student who fails authentication always when I try to add to my Apple Mail on my Mac. I have the current OS of El Capitan. I talked to technical support at school, and he said he has never been able to get this working, apparently due to some problem with 2-factor of Apple. The account sets fine on my iOS devices, and although it is an address wgu.edu, it's actually a Google account.

    Someone at - it knowledge or suggestions on this subject?

    Thank you

    Rob

    I have maybe far away, but isn't it just a matter of setting up a Gmail account with you wgu.edu address inside? Or have you already tried to do?

  • Users of accounts Hotmail does not invite E-mail

    Hi, I use the Netgear 204 system everything works fine. 6.3.5 software

    Although I would fix ReadyCloud access to family records.

    Everyone that I invite you has a hotmail.com address does not invite him.

    Anyone who has a work related e-mail gets the invitation and online in a few seconds.

    Why not going to the hotmail /gmail e-mail addresses?

    I tried searching this forum with no luck.

    Nick

    I also had no problem receiving email on a test hotmail.com account. My guess is that the problem lies somewhere on the receiving end / Microsoft. For a test, try to add [email protected] as a contact to your hotmail account and see if that helps.
