I am still having some trouble. My mailbox is having trouble receiving emails. It is taking longer than usual or sometimes it doesn't allow people to send me emails. Could it be the server?how exactly do I fix this?

my mailbox is my issue. some emails I receive are taking longer to arrive to me or if som one wants to send me an email, they cant because it seems to be blocked-says "server rejected...." What does this mean and how can I fix this?

The server rejected message usually indicates the email provider rejected the message as spam/junk. Try going to the email provider's web site to see if you can find a way to mark the messages so they aren't rejected.


While there, see if your receive an email at the web site, how long it takes before it shows up on the computer.


Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
