not getting my email

[cybercrone]

I'm a new account transferring from another host, and my DNS change happened just this morning.  I have received five messages in my catchall email account, but after that no messages have been getting through, including test messages I sent myself and messages sent to me by someone else.  I know there is no problem in my email program setup because I was able to download the first five messages received.  These five show up as counted in email manager, but that count has not been increased by the messages sent subsequently, so it seems clear they are not even getting to my box.  Somewhere on this site I read something about it taking some time for all the places that need the DNS change to be updated to get done, and I am wondering if the problem has to do with that.  I have used the general support form to report this problem and don't want to create duplication of effort, but my confirmation message suggested reporting the problem here as well so I am.

I responded to your support requests via the Service Desk and from what we found in that route this does appear to be a propagation issue.

The links you may be referring to can be found at:

and

The test message I sent did make it through ok so I do believe time should solve this one.

Just got a message from Service that my speculation about delay in propogation is probably correct.  So never mind.  I'll wait it out and see how things go tomorrow.
