Email Challenges Over the past two or three months I’ve had a few people contact me to ask why I had not answered their email, or responded to their request? For the first couple I just thought they must have written the email address wrong and asked them to resend. But I’ve now had many mention the same to me – one client in particular had sent several emails to me in the one day about a job I was doing for her – and only two of the emails got through. I knew that something must be drastically wrong. My mail host has tried everything they can to try and work out the problem – all they can tell me is that there is an incompatibility between Telstra, Ozemail, and my mail host’s server and as such, mail seems to just disappear – it doesn’t even bounce back to the sender! The strange thing is I receive well over 100 emails a day and so, to me, I had no reason to think any were going missing. I did however, start to send test emails to myself from different locations now and then – some would arrive, others didn’t. So, if you’ve been one of these people who have emailed me and wondered why I’ve not responded – I wasn’t being rude, I just hadn’t received it! I’m currently in the process of seeking out a new webhost/mailhost. My current provider has been an excellent webhost and their service couldn’t be better. But the mystery with missing email has perplexed them, and me, and so we must part ways. If you have tried to send something to me that is urgent or important, please ring me on 03 9583 8359 and I’ll give you an alternative email until I have the new service set up. In the meantime, my regular email address is working most of the time, and once I’ve made the shift it will still be the same address – just hosted on a completely different mail and web server. Although this has been a nuisance, it has had its value too. It means I’ve learnt that there are a lot of new hosting services available at really good prices, and so, if you are in the market for a new webhost, or if you are planning to set up a new website, I can point you in the right direction. |
In fact, I’m trying
to choose between two services
who appear almost equal in the services they provide and their related
charges. Both come well recommended. What I particularly like is that
both have an online Control Panel which means you can log in to change
the way things are set up for your website and even how your mail is delivered
to you.
I love today’s technologies – there is always something new and exciting to explore! Have a great month everyone. Kathie We welcome the new members who have joined our ranks since last newsletter: Lorraine Stott, Whitton,
