E-Mail Problems

[Explorer-8]

About two months ago, I opened a gmail account, but it turned out that I didn't need it. Now, for the last month, whenever my father wants to send me an e-mail, it doesn't go straight to my e-mail account like it used to, but he gets my gmail username and it has to go through that. My internet provider tested my e-mails and I sent one to myself, and they both came straight through without any bother. Why is it that my father could be having this problem?

He has to go through that ? How come ?

He puts down the gmail account in the TO box and it goes there. Otherwise he puts down whatever other e-mail address you used to use and it'll go there instead.

I think your father may be using the address his e-mail client or account suggest when he types in your name, possibly ? He would need to change that default if this is the case.

Thanks I will send him your advice.
