Beautiful Scars: My Scars are Beautiful

by Martina Mukete

About the Book

INTRODUCTION: In front of you, is a fine collection of love poems, religious poems, personal growth poems, and lessons on life and challenges. There is also a significant theme centered on women because as a woman from a visible minority group, we sometimes feel powerless. I write to encourage you all to stand tall and stay strong. The theme of culture or black race (African) rises in some of my poems because I can never disconnect from my background and roots. These memories keep me grounded and fearless in my writings. My main reason for mixing up a little bit of everything into this collection is to show how open-minded I have chosen to be. I am a Christian but I also believe in love and not ashamed to express my feelings and emotions for the fear of being judged and criticized. My secret is, criticism makes you stronger only if you can look within and not from the outside. Of course, some of my poems may have an undertone of sadness, which stands for a symbolic time in my life when I faced certain challenges and even went through depression but still came out strong. This collection is a full representation of my true, authentic self, with all my imperfections and flaws and mistakes. I agree that I am broken and still growing into a flower. I have poured out my heart to you, though in pieces but the truth remains – "my scars are beautiful" Thank you for joining me in my journey by reading through these poems.

    Email is one of the most essential communication tools used across businesses, educational institutions, and for personal correspondence. However, few things are more frustrating than expecting an important message—only to find that it never shows up in your inbox. Whether it's a business lead, a job offer, or a password reset, missing emails can create serious problems.

    If you've found yourself wondering why you’re not receiving mail or why emails not coming through to your inbox, you’re not alone. Many users face this issue every day, and luckily, there are practical solutions.

    This blog by CallVoiceSupport will guide you through common causes and solutions for email delivery problems, so you can get back on track with uninterrupted communication.

    Common Reasons for Email Delivery Issues

    There can be several reasons you're not seeing new messages in your inbox. Let's break down the most typical causes:

    1. Email Filters

    Sometimes, your email provider’s spam filters can be too aggressive. Important emails may be misidentified as spam and sent to the junk folder.

    What to do:

    • Check the Spam or Junk folder.

    • Mark legitimate emails as “Not Spam” to train your filter.

    • Create custom rules or whitelist trusted addresses.

    2. Full Inbox or Storage Limit Reached

    Your email provider likely gives you a certain amount of storage. If your account is full, new messages may be rejected.

    How to fix:

    • Delete old or unnecessary emails, especially those with large attachments.

    • Empty your trash and spam folders.

    • Upgrade your storage plan if needed.

    3. Incorrect Email Settings

    If you're using an email client like Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail, incorrect incoming/outgoing server settings could prevent new emails from being delivered.

    Quick fix:

    • Double-check IMAP/POP3 and SMTP settings.

    • Re-authenticate your email account if prompted.

    Why You're Not Receiving Mail – Deep Dive into Root Causes

    A particularly frustrating issue is when you realize that emails are being sent to you—but you’re just not receiving them. The problem could stem from misconfigured settings, blocked IPs, or even temporary server-side issues.

    One of the most common support queries we get at CallVoiceSupport is about not receiving mail in various providers like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and more.

    Here are some advanced troubleshooting tips:

    a. DNS or MX Record Errors

    If you’re using a custom domain (like yourname@yourcompany.com), DNS misconfigurations can interfere with mail delivery. The MX (Mail Exchange) records must be correctly set up to route emails.

    b. Blacklisted IP Addresses

    Sometimes, email servers block senders based on IP reputation. If someone trying to reach you is on a blacklist, your server might silently drop their emails.

    c. Software Conflicts

    Security software like firewalls, VPNs, or antivirus programs may occasionally block legitimate email communication. Disabling them temporarily can help test this theory.

    What to Do If Your Emails Not Coming Through

    If you’re missing critical emails and nothing seems to help, it’s time to look at more complex layers like server-side restrictions or email authentication issues (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).

    At CallVoiceSupport, we often deal with cases where emails not coming through despite accounts being active and configured correctly.

    Let’s explore some practical steps:

    a. Clear Browser Cache or Email App Cache

    Sometimes the email client or browser you’re using might not refresh properly.

    Fix:

    • Log out and back into your account.

    • Clear browser/app cache.

    • Try accessing your email from a different browser or device.

    b. Review Blocked Addresses or Domains

    Most email providers let users block certain addresses or domains. If you’re not getting emails from specific senders, they might be on your blocklist.

    Solution:

    • Go to email settings.

    • Unblock previously blocked contacts.

    • Add essential senders to your “safe senders” list.

    Real User Scenario: Missed Job Interview Email

    Take this example—a college graduate waiting for job interview confirmation via Gmail. She checked her inbox multiple times and assumed she wasn’t selected. Later, she discovered that the email had landed in her spam folder, and the interview date had passed.

    If she had known about filters or consulted a support team like CallVoiceSupport, she might have caught the message in time. That’s why it’s important not just to react, but to proactively configure your email correctly.

    Preventing Future Email Issues

    After fixing your current problem, take a few steps to prevent future issues:

    • Regularly update your email password.

    • Check inbox and spam folders frequently.

    • Enable 2FA for security.

    • Keep backup copies of important emails.

    • Use alternate email for critical accounts or services.

    • Set email forwarding rules for backup.

    Email Not Coming In? Time to Act

    If your email flow suddenly stops, don’t wait. Investigate the problem methodically. Start with spam filters, check your blocked list, and then review technical settings. Most problems are solvable with a little effort and expert guidance.

    If you’ve already tried all these solutions and you’re still facing issues, CallVoiceSupport is here to help you troubleshoot everything from mailbox configuration to more advanced DNS-level settings.

    Final Words

    Missing emails can disrupt your work, delay communications, and even cause loss of opportunities. Whether it’s due to spam filters, full storage, or server-side errors, knowing the right steps to troubleshoot makes all the difference.
