I do not receive marketing emails from a specific club that I am a member of. I receive emails of confirmation of bookings, the AGM, and any other emails not marketing related. I am not opted out of these emails and when I speak to them, and they check at their end, all is well and they have advised me to contact me email provider - this seems to continually go round in circles though when I try this! The tags above are irrelevant, I had to pick something!

    If you are not receiving marketing emails from a specific contact while still receiving other types of emails, it is possible that these marketing emails are being filtered into your spam or junk folder. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check your Junk or Spam folder: Sometimes, legitimate emails can be mistakenly marked as spam. Make sure to check these folders to see if the marketing emails are there.
    2. Add the sender to your Safe Senders list: If you find that the emails are landing in your spam folder, you can add the sender's email address to your Safe Senders list to prevent this from happening in the future. You can find instructions on how to do this in the Microsoft support documentation.
    3. Contact your email provider: If the emails are not in your spam folder, you may need to reach out to your email provider for further assistance. They can check if there are any filters or blocks that might be affecting the delivery of these emails.
    4. Verify your email preferences with the sender: Ensure that your email preferences with the club are correctly set to receive marketing emails. Sometimes, there may be a misunderstanding in the settings on their end.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the issue and hopefully resolve it so that you can start receiving the marketing emails you expect.

    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    To help narrow down the issue:

    Can you check if the emails might be landing in the "Other" tab instead of "Focused," or if they’re hidden in another folder? Can you also test searching?


    In the meantime, I recommend checking out this Microsoft support article:
