Hi @wsimbota,
This is a very broad question, we’ll need some information in order to assist you with this. Please let us know what mail service you are using, how have you configured them etc.
Having said that, I’ll recommend checking your log files. Every Mail service has a log that includes every sent/received mail alongside any errors generated. That’ll be your first point, second one would be to see if the user was created properly or if there are any differences between the way the user way of sending/receiving mails.
Regards, KDSys
