  2. Unable to send emails to my friends email address

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you for responding.

    As per your suggestions I understand that your IP address might have blocked.

    Do let us know the type of the email address you are using (live.com/ outlook.com/ Hotmail.com)?

    Also, is this issue specific to the particular recipient?

    I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to log-in to the online account, try to send an email to the recipient and check.

    Step 2: Try to log-in to the web browser, perform step 1 and check.

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to contact the ESP/ ISP service provide and check if that helps.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue and required information for further assistance.
