whats going on?? it happens to me on all of my email services! it mentions something about smtp and email servers and apparently my default server doesn't work.

please help!

Contact your email host.

What do you mean by all your email services?

Can you send mail to other addresses? It just looks like the address your trying to send to doesn't exist.

no it's every address i send it to, and i can't receive emails either, and i try changing email addresses and nothing works.

VampDude: how would i contact my email host if i can't email him/her? or can i? but how do i reach the host in the first place?

Telephone

Get a yahoo or hotmail acct.
Or gmail ;)

Are you using a local email app like outlook and your ISP supplied email account?

Has the PC had internet access provided by more than 1 ISP lately?

dejkirkby: gmail gets no recommendation loving? :)

*yes I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird mail organizer, and I've tried using my emails from the original page.

*i have no idea what ISP is.

*i'm using gmail, hotmail and zelda classic

and for some reason i can now receive mail, but not send it, i can get that much.

and whats NPL (is that right)
apparently it has something to do with sending mail.

ISP is your Internet Service Provider :)

You're getting the same mail error, when sending to several (known to be valid) addresses, from at least 2 different web-based mail services?

Thats just odd, if other web traffic works then it really shouldn't be an issue with your ISP as they are just forwarding it as web traffic, you're not using their SMTP server to send the mail.

I cant stop looking at '550 Recipient Rejected: Account Inactive'. Someone's account must be inactive, and it seems it is the person's you are sending to.

Try emailing me at [email protected] (Thats a junk mail account so I'm not stressed about spam).


EDIT: Got your email, you should have a reply. All seems well. :)

ok, so i got your email. mabye i fixed it, and then tried to send the email to this guy.
thanks for your help.

If your opening a browser (IE, Firefox, Opera, whatever), going to one of several web-based mail sites and using them then there's not a lot that you could change/fix.

I think the email address you were sending to no longer exists, or the mail server that address is based at was having issues.
