Windows 10: codes sent to my email address not being received

Not able to receive confirmation codes sent to me

Hi! Lately, I don't seem to be able to receive confirmation codes that are sent to my email addresses, so that I can logon to their sites. This recently happened several times when tracfone tried to send me codes. And today - it happened when I tried to logon to the Melaleuca site, which requires confirmation by code, too. I have read online instructions on how to fix the problem, but I can't see how any of their suggestions could help fix the problem. I absolutely never block texts from unknown numbers, so that that doesn't apply to me. I absolutely never receive codes in my junk folders. I always type my email address and phone correctly - so it's a waste of tim to remind me to do so. I absolutely never use airplane mode - plus all of our phones and computers are able to get online fine. So I don't see how someone's suggestion to turn it off and thn back on can help anything. So what else can you suggest I try? Should I reinstall my operating system (Windows 10) and start all over - would that help? Thanks!

 

Additional email addresses

You are talking about two totally different things, contacts versus predictive text input in mail client.

In most email clients, like Windows Mail, when you start typing an address in TO, CC or BCC fields, the client does not pick the addresses suggested from your contacts. Instead, it suggests addresses you have sent email earlier, or addresses of those who have sent email to you.

If I now sent you an email, and you replied to it, next time when you write an email to someone whose address starts with K, my email address would be one of the suggested to you although I am not in your contacts.

 

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111
