I can receive mail but cannot send

That's frustrating!

There could be several reasons why you're unable to send mail, even though you can receive it. Here are some potential causes:

  1. Outdated or incorrect email address: Make sure your email address is correct and up-to-date. If you've changed your email address recently, it might not be updated in your contacts' address books.
  2. Blocked or flagged email account: Your email account might be blocked or flagged by the recipient's email provider or their email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, etc.). This could be due to various reasons, such as spam filters, blacklists, or incorrect formatting.
  3. Email client or server issues: Problems with your email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) or server (e.g., your internet service provider's email server) might prevent you from sending emails.
  4. Firewall or antivirus software interference: Firewalls or antivirus software might be blocking your email client or server, preventing you from sending emails.
  5. Email content or formatting issues: The content or formatting of your email might be causing issues. For example, if you're using a lot of HTML code or attachments, it might be triggering spam filters or causing compatibility issues.
  6. Recipient's email address is invalid or not accepting emails: The recipient's email address might be invalid, or they might have set up their email account to not accept emails from certain senders or domains.
  7. Email provider's restrictions: Your email provider might have restrictions on sending emails, such as limits on the number of emails you can send per day or restrictions on sending emails to certain domains.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Check your email client's settings and configuration to ensure everything is correct.
  2. Try sending a simple text email to the recipient to see if the issue is specific to a particular email client or attachment.
  3. Contact your email provider's support team to see if there are any issues on their end.
  4. Try sending an email to a different recipient to see if the issue is specific to the recipient's email address.
  5. Check your email account's spam filters and settings to ensure they're not blocking your emails.
