Basic first checks;
1) Is your internet connection working correctly? Can you browse to Google.com? If not, try restarting your computer / your router.
2) Is your email program functioning correctly? Check that you can perform other tasks. If not, restart your computer & email software.
3) Are you sending to a valid email address? Please double check for typos!
4) Are your senders using the correct email address for you? Please double check for typos!
5) Are you able to send any email at all to any address? Are you receiving any email from anyone? Try to send / receive some test emails and note any error messages.
6) Do you use any anti-malware or anti-virus software? Some of these software programmes can block emails before they arrive in your inbox or before they are sent. Please check your settings or disable the software whilst performing send / receive tests.
