Lately I cannot receive emails from sites where I am trying to recover a password

Recently I have tried to retrieve a password on two different websites and when they send me an email with the temporary password, Firefox rejects it with an instant error message that I cant even read.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

  • Cannot receive emails from a  specific sender

    attempting to receive emails from a email address i.e. [email protected] Hav tried adding contact lists and have attempted changing filters in Apple mail, but still not getting the email . How can I solve this?

    Check and see if the e-mail is on the e-mail provider's web site. It may be getting rejected by the e-mail provider.

  • Cannot receive emails from specific addresses

    I am not able to receive messages from a couple of specific senders, I can email them, they cannot respond or send a new email.
    I am wondering if I accidentally bounced that email back as I have been having to bounce multiple spam lately and could have included an email from them. I tried to find a way to look at my bounced emails and cannot find - is there a way to look that up? And if so, can you reverse a bounce?
    IMAC G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You can't reverse bounced message.
    Since spammers don't provide a valid sending or return email address, using the bounce feature on spam is a complete waste of your time.
    When used on spam, all you get is a return email error message indicating the bounced message was not deliverable.
    Some spammers use a valid email address from their "known good" email address list to appear as the sending email address for their garbage. Using the bounce feature on such a spam message will work but you are not sending the bounced message back to the spammer - it is going to some unsuspecting person who is not aware their email address is being improperly used by a spammer.
    Bouncing a message sent from a legitimate source will not prevent receiving messages from the sender in the future. The only thing a bounced message does is indicate to the sender that your email address is not valid so hopefully the sender will not attempt to send you more messages in the future.
    I am not able to receive messages from a couple of specific senders,
    I can email them, they cannot respond or send a new email.
    What exactly does they cannot respond or send a new email to you mean?
    Do these senders successfully send you a message but receive a return email error message indicating the message was not deliverable or something else?
    If the former, what does the return email error message indicate?

  • Cannot receive email from Verizon in Thunderbird 31.5.0

    Have successfully used Thunderbird with Verizon email for years.
    Recently updated to Thunderbird 31.5.0. Now cannot receive any Verizon messages---but can successfully send messages.
    Can receive Verizon messages on Android phone and with Verizon webmail client---Verizon account is functional.
    After many attempts to debug (including 15 mins on line with Verizon tech support), deleted Verizon account in Thunderbird and created a new account. Still cannot receive messages....but can still send messages.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any advice/help.
    Ed

    I am really sorry if I have upset you by posting the same message twice. I only registered for the Forum this morning and this was my first message. I clicked Send before I received the email to confirm my address. I therefore assumed that the message had not gone.
    I apologize for this and can assure you that I will not do it again.
    If you are able could you give me some pointers as to what is happening. On looking at my Outbox it looks as though the message did go even though I got the error message.

  • Cannot receive email from Yahoo

    I have 2 POP email accounts from Yahoo. Both have worked fine for about a year. All of the sudden on Nov 1st, I can no longer receive email only on one of the accounts with Mac Mail. The second account continues to function fine. I also have no issues accessing my mail through a browser.
    So far I have done the following;
    -I have verified with yahoo that all the settings are correct.
    -I deleted the first account with the problem and then recreated it. When I did this it downloaded ALL the email messages on the server but only up unitl Nov 1st when I started having the issue. I received no email messages sent after Nov 1st.
    -I set-up the email account on a Win XP box (same network) with Outlook Express and was able to download ALL the messages including ones after Nov 1st.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I went into Yahoo webmail and deleted a few emails on the date when I stopped receiving email. Magically, all my subsequent emails were were delivered to my MAC email client. One of the emails must have contained something that created an issue for Macmail. I have had no problems since.

  • Cannot receive emails from English hotel when sent as a 'Reply' to my email

    I sent an email to [email protected] and she has selected 'Reply' and sent to me on two occasions three days apart. I have not received either reply. Why?

    First thing I did was check spam folder - nothing. I have visually checked all folders - nothing. I used the search function using 'from' category on all folders, one at a time - nothing.

  • Cannot Download Email from Server, but can Send

    As of a couple of days ago, I cannot receive email from my main server account to which all other email boxes forward. I can, however,  send email.
    Tried clicking Advanced, under "check with your system administrator before changing any of the advanced options below:" deselected Use SSL, chose authentication of Password and automatically chose port 110.
    That did not work.
    Can someone please help me fix this? It is a pain to go to webmail.
    Thank you in advance.

    I changed the incoming port to 995 with SSL on.
    That worked!

  • TS3276 What if you're not receiving email from a specific sender?

    For some reason, I cannot receive email from a specific sender. I can send it to her, if she sends it back, I do not receive it.
    If she sent to four people, and I was one of them, I won't receive email but others will and if the others try to forward that email
    to me, I won't receive it but I will receive separate emals from them. Why is this?

    Have you checked you junk folder on the computer. Also, check spam folders at your email provider's website. Also check any settings that may exclude this sender.
    If the sender in your Address Book. Make sure they are so they will be excluded from junk filtering.
    Also, check any rules that could delete or junk message from this sender or content it may contain.

  • HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

    Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

    On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

  • I receive emails from Sparklebox in the UK. Suddenly recently they are saying they are from Hugs and Cookies which is a recipe site in the USA. How do I change?

    Sparklebox is an educational resource site in the UK. I receive emails from them regularly.
    Suddenly a couple of weeks ago they started arriving stating that they are from Hugs and Cookies XOXO which a recipe site in the USA which I subscribe to.
    Can it please be changed back to reveal that they are from Sparklebox and not Hugs and Cookies XOXO?

    Sorry if you think the complaints about not being able to see your question are dumb. But it makes it very difficult and after complaining for over a year my frustration is very high.
    As for deleting the entry in your address book for Hugs and Cookies, it is nothing of the sort. Thunderbird uses your address book display name preferences to populate the from list.
    Of the last 100 people that came here complaining that mail from one person was actually from another. Their address book entry for that person was the issue in probably 99 of them.
