Emails not received by recipients!!!

Some of my emails are not being received by my recipients. This has been occuring for at least one week now.

After I send the email, I get the message that email was sent, but my recipient never receives it. Why is this and what can be done about it?

I only find out the recipient never received the email because after a few days of no response, I call them to ask them if they received it and that's when they tell me they never received it. 

My emails are often very time sensitive and crucial for me to do my job.

These are people I have been emailing with for years. I need assistance please. 

Is this an issue Comcast/Xfinity needs to fix for me on my end? Can someone please look at my account?

Thank you!

Hello, @user_20f487 is this happening with all of your email accounts or specifically your Comcast.net email? Your Xfinity Email comes with 10GB of email storage. Over time, if you save emails with large attachments, you may reach your storage limit. You might be unable to send or receive email when that happens. You can review the amount of storage you're using by clicking on the gear icon on the Xfinity Email website.

I have been having the same problem for many months and it usually resolved itself when I would restart the computer. However, after several important messages did NOT go through and I was able to send them via Gmail I tried some troubleshooting. With COMCAST e-mail I COULD:

(1) receive all messages

(2) send messages from GMAIL to COMCAST

(3) send messages from Comcast to GMAIL after I rebooted

BUT for no apparent reason after rebooting and some random "Cannot FInd Server" messages that I seem to experience a lot, that would stop.

Finally it hit me that I am using a VPN and that on occasion I lose connection to the NET because of a particular server I am tied to losing connection (I assume) and then the VPN looks for another connection. I thought, "Perhaps it does not like the VPN and thinks I am some SPAMbot?".

I cannot be sure, but since signing off the VPN and just going with my "native" internet my messages have been going through. Although this is a "fix" it is not the desired one because I use a VPN for privacy and this means I cannot if I want to send as well as receive e-mails. I don't know htwe answer but I am going to start with my VPN because even when I finally get a hold of Comcast and they say they are going to fix things (my on screen caller ID has not worked in a month or more despite three phone calls and "promises") I get no satisfaction.

Drtomflorida_95 please let us know if this issue happens while using your Xfinity internet service with no VPN. It sounds like a DNS issue or a VPN settings issue.
