The most common reasons for not receiving emails include:
- Incorrect or invalid email address, causing emails to be undeliverable.
- Emails getting redirected to spam or junk folders due to filter settings.
- Mailbox being full and unable to accept new emails.
- Email filters or rules misdirecting emails away from the inbox.
- Network or server issues causing delays or delivery failures.
- Blocked or blacklisted sender addresses.
- Misconfigured email settings or forwarding rules.
To troubleshoot, check the spam/junk folder, verify your email address is correct, ensure there is sufficient mailbox storage, review and adjust filters or blocked senders, and confirm your internet connection is working. If your email provider is experiencing outages or technical problems, it might cause delays requiring waiting or contacting support. Also, sometimes the sender may have deliverability problems beyond your control. Specific fixes depend on your email service (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail), but starting with checking spam, storage, filters, and address accuracy usually identifies or solves the problem.
