I tried to send a test message to myself so that I can forward it to my contacts (they aren't the same as my website contacts). So I sent a test email to myself over an hour ago and I still haven't gotten it. Anyone know why?
 
I just had someone on our cluster loop ask this same question...Almost verbatum! Here's what I answered her...

Whenever I tried to send myself something through TPC, it would never go through...the system "remembers" your email address. Try sending it to a different account (a separate Comcast one, or set up a free Yahoo! or Hotmail account). I found that was the only way to actually "see" what was being sent.



Hope that helps!

HTH...SIID!

Someone sent this to the loop...found it interesting...

*********
I took a PWS teleclass one time and I remember the facilitator saying about this. When you send out a mass email to your customer connection email list, our PWS takes 9 emails at a time and sends them out. Our PWS is designed to do this to avoid our emails going into their spam or junk mail. So, this is causing the delay when you send/receive your email.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I check first if I haven't received my test email?

First, check your spam or junk folder, as sometimes emails can be filtered there. Additionally, ensure that you entered the correct email address when sending the test email.

How long should I wait before assuming the test email hasn't been sent?

Typically, you should wait at least 10-15 minutes. If you still haven't received it after that time, there may be an issue with the email system.

What if my email provider is blocking the test email?

Some email providers have strict filtering systems that may block certain emails. Check your email settings or contact your email provider to see if they are blocking emails from the Pampered Chef domain.

Can I try sending the test email to a different email address?

Yes, trying a different email address can help determine if the issue is specific to your primary email account. Use a different provider, such as Gmail or Yahoo, to see if the test email goes through.

What should I do if I still can't receive the test email?

If you have checked all the above and still haven't received the test email, consider reaching out to Pampered Chef support for assistance. They can help troubleshoot any issues with the email system.
