I am new to the website and I am trying to send a few emails just to make sure everything is looking good before sending to customers. Two of the emails that are being sent are to a yahoo.com account. For some reason, they are not receiving them in the inbox or junk. Is there a way to fix this?
Yahoo accounts not receiving emails

Hi
To see overall bounces across all campaigns, view the Campaign Trends Report. Additionally, you can use segments to identify addresses that have hard or soft bounced.
If you want to see what type of bounce a customer experienced, click into the customer profile and search for the bounced email event. You can click on the timestamp for the event on the right-hand side and see whether the bounce recorded is hard or soft.
You mention now that there are over 4000 bounces, so I don’t believe it is solely due to the yahoo address.
There are several possible reasons why an email address may hard or soft bounce:
- Email address doesn’t exist
The contact could have provided a false address or made a typo in the address. If you are unsure, you can try correcting the email address and sending a one-off email. If the email still bounces, this address should remain suppressed. - Email is undeliverable
The email was unable to be delivered due to an error with the server, etc. - Mailbox is full
If the profile has opened emails from you in the past, they may need to empty their mailbox. - Vacation/Auto-reply
The contact may have set a temporary auto-reply. If there is previous activity in the account, they may need to turn off auto-reply. - Blocked Email
The receiving server has blocked the incoming email.

We recommend some best practices on what not to do to avoid being bounces. Some are:
- All capital letters (e.g., FREE MONEY NOW)
- Using a lot of symbols (e.g., 100% FREE MONEY!!$$$)
- Including just one large image in your email with little, or no, text
- Implementing eye-catching or spam-triggering phrases (e.g., JUST THIS ONCE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY or ACT NOW!!!)
- Including multiple images with less text
