How to send an email to tiscali.

[modeller]

I send dozens of emails with no problems but I can't send them to a friend who uses 'tiscali'. He can email me but I can't reply to him or compose a separate email. This only applies to Windows Mail. I use Orange and Gmail to email him with no problems . At the moment if I receive any emails on W M which I want to forward to him I have to forward them to myself on Gmail or Orange and then forward them to him. We have both checked our settings and asked our respective email providers but no problems have been found.
I may have a similar problem with another tiscali contact but I get so little from it anyway that may not be relevant.

Any ideas ?

The only cause that I can think of is that your friend's email service has a spam filter in place which is blocking your mail.

Try to send your friend an email from the account you use with Windows Mail, then ask him to access his mail account via TalkTalk's web-based system (instead of via his email client, such as Outlook Express or Windows Mail). The link he needs is here:
http://www.talktalk.co.uk/mail/?check_cookie=1
There's probably a folder labelled 'Spam', 'Bulk' or something similar. He might well find your email in there. If so, he needs to look for an option to mark the mail as 'This is not spam' (or something similar).

The foregoing is written from experience. I've had plenty of problems with emails from trusted sources going missing,only to find that they've been blocked by spam filters.

methyl last post is on the nose for a problem i had with mac mail, when i first sent an e mail to my friend i entered it incorrectly. auto complete remembered it, and i sent loads of e mails to the wrong incorrect address until i realised what was happening. had to reset auto complete and remove previous recipients and then all was good

Thank you for all your suggestions . However I still couldn't clear the problem so I solved it by installing Windows Live Mail which works OK but there is one facility which doesn't work .
When I used Windows Mail I could enter any number of contacts in an email by just clicking on their names in the contact list but with Windowe Live Mail that doesn't work.
If I want to enter several names I have to type them in separately . It's true that I only have to enter the first few letters but if I want to enter 20 names it's a slow job . I also noticed that the word 'contacts.' is dimmed out and nothing happens when I click on the icon Check Names. This may not be relevant but I thought I would mention it. So if you use W L M maybe you can advise me.
