Our faculty (including the Dean) are having some strange email issues recently and looking for answers. First example, one user sends email to the other and the email never shows up. This is repeatable problem. No error is given. The messages do not appear in webmail inbox and neither have any filters and the message is not in the spam folder or trash. We have also tried sending messages from Thunderbird and the problem still exists. Both users can receive and send email with no problem from and to other MSU email accounts. Second example mail problems has to do with lost attachments. Some users received the attachments others did not but everyone received the message. This happened twice from one user to multiple different users in our building, but the problem did not repeat when the message was resent to just the people who failed to get the attachment using the same clients on both sides. Third example is a user who sent a message with an attachment from MSU Webmail at IM Circle (outside of Erickson Hall) and the attachment never arrived. The user resent the message three times until it finally went through. Fourth example is a user sending email from outlook to the Dean's account (who uses Eudora). The messages appear in sent folder on the sending computer but never arrive for the Dean. This has happened off and on for a while. In all four cases no errors from clients or MSU mail servers were received. We have reported most of these problems to MSU Help Desk. I am hoping someone has an idea about what is going on so we can provide answers to the College of Education staff and faculty. Charles Ruggiero [log in to unmask] 517-432-4970
