Unable to receive sub-account emails in Windows Ma...

Family members living a distance away have a btinternet main account with a sub account. Both accounts are managed by their Windows Mail and have been operating fine for over 2 years. Last week an error 553 was given. Sub-account emails could be neither sent or received from Windows Mail. I went through the verification process via WebMail for them. Immediately they could send emails from the sub-account again, but not receive. The send and receive reports for both accounts report successful with green ticks. BT has remoted onto the PC and checked out the settings and declared it all working, yet still no emails received. I can see all the emails waiting via webmail. I've checked that emails can be sent to, and received from, another email address. What has changed? Is it possible the verification was incomplete?

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
There is no particular need to verify any BTinternet sub accounts.
The reason for this error is a settings change by some means or other, even accidental. As there have been mail server issues for a number of weeks now - is it possible your family may have tried to alter their Windows Mail account settings to try to fix the problem ?
Verification has actually nothing to do with receipt of email, so that sounds to be a settings issue.
I would suggest contacting your family to check the account settings again, and make sure that each one only refers to the email address in question, and any primary account details (e.g. that needed for verification) is removed from the sub account..

  • New sub-account email not working

    Was to receive a phone call from a support Manager today (8/31/11).
    Did not receive it.
    Not surprised. (Will call you back with a solution, promise we will).
    My sub-account email address of:{edited for privacy} is not working.
    When I try to send to this email, the verizon email servers are giving me an error message: "this is an invalid email address"
    When I send to {edited for privacy}it works.
    I guess this "{edited for privacy}" is linked to "{edited for privacy}"?
    Try to figure this one out.
    Please fix this!

  • Cannot see sub-account emails in My Verizon

    I recently replaced my hard drive and now Windows Live Mail is no longer available.  So I'm trying to use My Verizon to check my emails.  The only problem with this is that any emails to my sub-account emails are not appearing in My Verizon.  How do I fix this.  If I can't see my sub accounts I'll have to migrate to another email service like gmail.  Can anyone help????

    Your primary account and sub accounts are separate accounts in Verizon. If you want to access your sub account's messages, you'll need to log into that account.

  • Transferring sub account email address to new Broa...

    My daughter used an email address as a sub account on my main account. She recently became a new BT Broadband customer at another address.
    She used my sub account email address as a BT ID on her new account and can access her account information.
    However her email address is no longerfunctioning as an email address, not being recognised as such. consequently she cannot access her emails.
    Can the moderators arrange to transfer her email address and emails to her new account as her main email address?
    Many thanks

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above helped, restart your router.

  • Sub-Account Email not working

    Although I've successfully created sub-accounts in the past, this weekend I created a new sub-account but the associated email does not seem to be working properly. I can log onto the the account and access the web email for this new sub-account. However, there is only the introductory "Congratulations on your new account" email from verizon in the inbox. I do not receive any other new emails even though I have sent several from various different addresses. I was able to successfully send emails from the new account (although as of this morning that does not seem to be working either).
    I have not set up any block senders, there is nothing in the Spam folder. I tried creating another sub-account with the same results. I'm still under my sub-account limit so should be fine there.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    I have been having the same problen since july 2010. I have 1 main account and 2 sub accounts. All 3 can send email, but the emails to the 2 sub accounts are bounced back with
    Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:
    I downloaded the verizon in home agent, talked to several verizon on line help agents who did a remote assist session. I have to explain the problem over and over again and they do the same thing over and over again. I know the definition of insanity, however the sub accounts still do not work.
    I posted this 10-23-2011. It is now 5-9-2012 and am still having the same problem. Any solution?

  • Unable to access sub account management

    When attampting to manage sub accounts that were prevoiusly set up, I see no listing for the accounts.
    I know the accounts are set up and working, how do I access them to make changes?
    Scott

    So, when you into my verizon and under manage sub-accounts, you are not seeing any of your sub-accounts.  That is probably because your sub-accounts may have been compromised and possibly got deleted.    I know some email accounts have been compromised. Verizon is sending out emails about it.

  • Unable to verify your account/Email not being sent to primary or alternate address/ Regain access to your Apple ID account

    Tried changing my apple Id to the alternate icloud address. It asked me to verify it through my email address (primary) which I never received.
    Requested to resend the validation email address a couple of times but failed to receive the verification. At that point, my icloud account failed to connect and kept on asking me to verify my account.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi rashadbibi,
    If you have not received your verification email for your iCloud account, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

  • HT5577 Unable to receive the verivication email from Apple

    Hello, I have try to create a apple id, and using the procedure I must receive a verification email. So far I don't receive anything. The same problem has another friend of me. Does anyone know what happened, and don't receive this email?

    You can get another verification email sent out by going to id.apple.com and logging in using Manage Apple ID.  The button will be on the first page just under your primary email.
    If you still don't receive it, the email may be linked to another Apple ID already.  Check any other IDs that you know of belonging to friends or family.  Your email could be linked as a secondary or rescue email.  If so, remove it and request the verification email from your account again.
    If the prior steps still do not get the email to you, call Apple directly and ask for Account Security.  They can usually force the email to be sent if they can verify your identity as the account owner.  The verification is usually just answering your security questions, giving details about the credit card linked to the account, or confirming a code sent out to your devices.
    Good luck!

  • Swapping Sub-account email for Main account email ...

    Hi,
    Some years ago when we first set up BT broadband my son entered the details online and set his email address as the primary account. He's now moving on and I'd like to update this to have my email (currently a sub-account) as the main account email. How can this be done? Any guidance greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • How Can I Receive (Non BT) Email Via 'Windows Live...

    We've recently got BT Infinity, and I want to send and receive Emails from various Email providers via Windows Live Mail.  Before, all I had to do was go into Windows Live Mail and set the incoming servers to whatever the Email providers was, and the outgoing servers as "relay.plus.net" and everything just worked.  I've tried setting the outgoing servers to "mail.btinternet.com", but I still cannot send anything.
    The instructions I've found so far, are for logging into BT Yahoo Mail and 'verifying' Email addresses.  But we don't have BT Yahoo, the only BT Email we can access is BT Mail via the BT website. This has a different interface.
    Could someone give me a step by step guide how to do this and tell me exactly what I'm meant to be putting in my Windows Live Mail account settings?
    An example of the error message I get is as below
    The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was '[email protected]'.
    Subject 'TEST'
    Server Error: 530
    Server Response: 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email client (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit http://www.bt.com/smtp
    Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
    Protocol: SMTP
    Port: 25
    Secure(SSL): No
