I have sent multiple emails to different email providers (Yahoo!, Hotmail (Live,Outlook), Gmail, AOL, Verizon, etc.) with no success. They're not making it into my inbox, or my recipients' inboxes.
Email delivery can fail at any number of places along its journey from the sender to the intended recipients...even if the recipient is you! As the possible issues are limitless, in this post, I've covered some of the most common reasons that emails may not be delivered to an inbox.
Messages can evade inboxes and end up in junk email, bulk email, spam, or trash folders due to automatic spam filtering or filters that you've configured, your administrator has configured, or an email client has chosen by default. Also, those who engage (open, click, forward, read, re-read, or have your ‘From’ address in their address book or contacts list) will see the message in their inbox, where other members of your list, at the same domain (IP address or web address), who do not actively engage or have your 'From' address in their address book or contact list, see it in a secondary folder.
