Send Works, Receive Fails Hostinger

Sometimes, you may be able to send emails from Hostinger but not receive them. This issue can occur due to DNS problems, suspended email services, or incorrect email client settings. This guide explains the common causes and practical steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem effectively.

Why Emails on Hostinger Can Be Sent But Not Received?

When you can send emails but not receive them, the issue is typically caused by incorrect or missing DNS entries, deactivated email services, or problems with your email client. IP blacklisting, temporary server issues, and exceeding account limitations are further factors.

1. Verify Your MX and DNS Records: The internet knows where to send your emails through MX records. Incoming emails will not work if these are incorrect or missing. Additionally, if you recently updated your records, give it a few hours as DNS updates sometimes take some time to take effect.
2. Verify that your email service is operational: Verify that your email service is activated by logging into your Hostinger account. Excessive storage and transmission restrictions, spam, or nonpayment can all result in account suspension.
3. Evaluate the settings of your email client and other factors: Check the IMAP/POP and SMTP settings in your email client. Emails may also be blocked by large attachments, IP addresses that have been blacklisted, or server maintenance.
