Why am I not receiving my voicemails to my email inbox?
After checking your Fongo voicemail settings and ensuring your settings are correct, another reason could be with the email provider settings. Some hints that may help you resolve your problem:
- Check your junk, spam and deleted folders to see if the messages ended up there
- If in junk/spam folders edit your junk/spam settings to eliminate this from happening
- If in "deleted" folder, edit your email filters
