I'm having a spot of email trouble.

My email address is in the following format:

Anything@AccountName.F9.co.uk

Meaning I can sign up to specific forums or whatever with a unique address, i.e. PCPro@AccountName.F9.co.uk, and if I get spammed, I have a fair chance of figuring out who has forwarded my address.

All was well and good, until I started using Thunderbird. Because my settings in thunderbird include my reply to address as David@AccountName.F9.co.uk, any mail sent to anything other than David@ doesn't come through.

Am I missing something obvious?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you using AVG by any chance ?

No, Kaspersky 2010.

Just been sending myself a few test mails, from various accounts, it definitely does not allow anything unless the address starts with David@.

Maybe Google K10 problems then? It's got problems with everything else seemingly :oops:

Kaspersky isn't filtering the incoming mail, I checked.

Must be something else...

Tis a bit of a head-scratcher.

Would you not need to set up an account for every email account? one for pcpro, one for x404 etc

That was my logic. An e-mail account, in my mind, is xyz@subdomain.domain.tld. So either you need Thunderbird to be able to get all the accounts on a given subdomain (automatically or manually) or have a seperate account for Thunderbird to download from. The issue with the latter, as I see it, is to do with marking e-mails as read and delteting them and such like.

Thats what I was thinking, although I've never had to do that in the past with either Outlook or Outlook Express.

Sorted.

It was due to changes on the ISP side with the mail redirects.
