My daughter sent me an email a few days ago. Got it fine. Today I just can't receive them. Clueless as to why..
 
Is your daughter closing outlook before the email has sent? They sometimes get stuck in the outbox.

A quick check is emailing yourself and see if you receive it.
She's attempting to sent me a document, but I just can't receive it. So she sent it to my mum, and she sent it to me which I received fine that way. I just can't get emails off daughter and i think my missus too now. I just can't get my head around the problem...she was able to email me a few days ago.
Btw...if i attempt to get help from Microsoft Outlook...they want me to PAY!

Check your junk email box. You may have accidentally blocked her. It's easily done.
 
Open a new hotmail account.
Share log-in details with daughter.
Leave each other e-mails in 'draft' folder.

cheeky little trick i learned from organised crime..

Makes an entertaining story in the pub, but not really seen in sophisticated or Organised Crime Gang behaviours.

Or even, in the original context of radical organisations. Those types realised years back that Smart Phones with encryption offered better security than basic 'burner' phones which agencies easily cracked. Then along came the Regulatory of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) in the UK so they turned to services like EncroChat - which was hacked by Security Agencies before the criminals realised leading to international arrests. The latest 'Ghost' encrypted comms channel was taken down by Europol 2 months ago.

Logging in to a single email account from multiple geographical locations will alert, even if using a VPN.

Email service providers (even free ones such as hotmail, which is now Outlook) will have AI or Machine Learning capabilities that will alert to this. Content of drafts, and the style or prose of content will be analysed and flagged. No same two people compose text in the same way. Mimecast & Abnormal have those features are two leading vendors who will more than likely used by the mail providers, afterall nobody is going to use their services if they facilitate spreading malicious content, viruses or whatever via their system so its in the providers interests to protect their users.

Basically, there are sophisticated commercial tools out there, I've used many if not most for this type of thing, but Government agencies have their own backdoors into security software which is why Kaspersky is banned in the US, as is TikTok - which IMHO is not far behind being banned in most countries, so nothing is invisible. That goes for all security software, not just Russian. Dont think the NSA, GCHQ, FSB etc are not listening, because they are.

Anyway, like I said it makes a good pub story, but not so real anymore

@Marklr did you get to the bottom of it? As suggested earlier it seems you inadvertly blocked the sender or the messages were falsely flagged as junk.

It was a fault with Talk Talk my provider. They had fucked it all up somehow, blocking hotmail and gmail. Sorted now.
Cheers, mate ;)
