Even if an email is successfully sent, the person you sent it to might not receive it for several reasons. Here are some common ones:
- Spam or Junk Folder: Sometimes, the email gets filtered by the recipient’s email service and ends up in the spam or junk folder instead of the inbox.
- Wrong Email Address: If the email address was typed incorrectly, the message might go to the wrong person or not get delivered at all.
- Full Inbox: If the recipient’s mailbox is full, they won’t be able to receive new emails until they delete some old ones.
- Email Server Issues: The recipient’s email service might be down or having problems, which can delay or block the delivery.
- Blocked Sender: The recipient might have accidentally or intentionally blocked your email address, so they won’t get your messages.
- Email Filter Settings: They may have rules or filters set up that automatically move your email to another folder or delete it.
- Attachments or Content: If your email has large attachments or certain words, some email systems might block it as a security measure.
Even though our side shows it was “sent,” delivery depends on the recipient’s email service and settings too.
