Dear Brooke,
Wow. 9 days to get a response?
My issue lasted at least 24 hours. During this time, both native WebMail, and my popped Outlook account were completely hosed. Then things righted themselves. I have no way of knowing what happened in the background.
MarkJFine, bless his heart, has been trying to report all the places where HughesNet is blocked or reported on spam lists. I hope someone at HughesNet will now look into this.
Thank you for inquiring. Now, if HughesNet would just stop all the spammers from using our addresses to produce spam....so we don't get on the bad lists....

This is the General Discussion section. It's not meant for support, which is clearly stated in the section description.
If you have a future technical issue with which you would like help from a HughesNet representative I suggest posting in the Tech Support section to get that help.
I am sorry I made a mistake. The heading to “Tech Support” says “Tips and Tricks”, and I did not need a tip or trick. I needed immediate help. I thought someone in the community might be able to help. Again, I thank MarkJFine, who is far more technical that I could ever be for trying to point out that settings having nothing to do with my personal account might be changed to help a lot of people.
My apologies, again. Perhaps someone could have pointed me in the right direction a little earlier....
No problem. I think HughesNet assumes, possibly mistakenly, that people will automatically know what Tech Support means and they then added the part about tips and tricks to say that the section includes those things, as well. Perhaps the description is something that they should look at clarifying. I've been on here so long that I don't even tend to read the section descriptions anymore, and I didn't realize that Tech Support said that.
Customers like Mark, maratsade, myself, and many others, will often help, even when someone asks technical questions in this section. And no doubt about it, Mark knows his stuff, and far more than I do, as well. This is especially true of the type of issue being discussed in this thread.
If the issue were still occurring it's very possible that Brooke would move this thread to Tech Support.
Hi tukatshak, I hope everything has been well since I've last heard from you. I'm going to close this thread due to inactivity, but don't hesitate to reach out again, we'll be here to help!
Thank you.
-Brooke
