Why does my email connected to site say active but won't receive emails???

4 replies
Hi Guys

I've always been a cheap skate and used free emails, but finally decided to buy an email plan with godaddy. I've set these up and they say ACTIVE but when I send emails to them, they just bounce back.

Now, I bought the websites at godaddy, but I host the sites with hostgator, so is that the problem?? I would'nt have thought so.

Anyway, I know I'm being dumb, so could anybody show me how not to be dumb :-)

Thanks
Phil

    Well, I wonder why people would pay for email at godaddy when Hostgator gives you free unlimited email accounts with all their hosting plans.

    I have never used or worked with a client that used Godaddy's email system so I can't help you there.

    But since you have Hostgator, just add whatever email addresses you want inside your cpanel and you are good to go.

    Hey Phil, no worries, we all have to learn these things eventually. I went through the same learning curve.

    And though I love Godaddy to buy domains they REALLY push the upsells and add-ons the the unsuspecting.

    I am always glad to help. Just let me know.
