    Hi friends,

    I just started my WooCommerce shop one week ago and everything went fine. After about 40 orders, WooCommerce suddenly stopped to send emails for new orders to me as an admin.

    Moreover, I never reveived any emails when orders were cancelled even though I activated that.

    And I don’t know whether my customers actually get their emails anymore, which worries me the most.

    Can you help me?

    I am using WooCommerce 5.1.0 and the yaymail plugin for customizing (but this plugin is working well – we have checked with their customer support already)

    Hi @kittypits,

    It’s likely that the emails which are sent by WordPress using your hosting webserver are being marked as spam and either ending up in a Junk/Spam folder or are being filtered out by your email provider. This is a common issue with sites using the default hosting server based WordPress PHP method wp_mail() for sending mail, which can have a number of issues.

    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/email-faq/

    Installing a plugin titled WP Mail Logging on your site you will be able to see all emails which are being sent our via WordPress, when those emails were sent and to whom they were sent too. You can access the email logs by navigating to WordPress Admin > Tools > WP Mail Log.

    WP Mail Logging will let you cross-check what emails have been sent vs what emails have been received. If the emails are indeed being sent out but not received that indicates that those emails are being blocked from reaching an Inbox by the email provider which is something that outwith the control of the WooCommerce plugin or WordPress.

    To solve this you could first get in touch with your host and see if they can fix any mail issues. I would then suggest setting up an account at one of the dedicated SMTP email providers listed within this document and using that to send all site emails as it’s a more robust email approach.

    Thank you Stuart! I will check that with my web hosting provider and install one of the mail plugins you proposed!

    Many kudos for your quick support!
