title: Excel VBA CDO Message Email Sending accounts work less and less…
body: <p>Herllo</p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to use some CDO Message VBA coding to automate sending short Emails. All is for private use, and never more than a couple of Emails per day. Either the Emailing is for people in my family, or other peple who I am sharing the coding with , for example on free help forums.
  My macros definitely work, and in the past were very reliable. 
  More recently I am finding that more and more often an Email account no longer works. So I have to replace the sending  EMail account with another. 
  I am running out of accounts that work.
  New accounts either do not work, or work just a few times, and then on further attempts give various errors.
  Different accounts from the same provider which I am using all have identical settings and in some cases have been used previously in similar ways. But some accounts still work in the CDO message sending, others don’t. It seems random which ones work and which don’t, with a growing tendency for less and less to work.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot find any help from the EMail providers other than automated Q / A which does not address my problem, or useless time wasting telephone help lines</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone recommend an Email account provider whose accounts they are finding to work consistently in a CDO Message macro.</p>
  
  <p>I think I know about most of the required settings, since I have been able to get the accounts working previously. I am guessing that maybe spam software is being tightened up and as a by product genuine use gets more often blocked by mistake… and I guess that automated use of accounts is more likely to arouse  suspicion.</p>
  
  <p>gmail was always very reliable for me. But now 7 out of 10 accounts are not working. I cannot register anymore, as they limit you to just a few registrations per confirming telephone number. So I expect soon that gmail will no longer be an option for me.</p>
  
  <p>New accounts on yahoo and yandex usually work a few times then stop working. Once in a while they occasionally work again.</p>
  
  <p>The only provider I have currently working consistently is a small German telecom provider. But as per Sod’s Law, some Email features that I need are available on most other providers, ..but not on this German one!! :--(</p>
  
  <p>I have access to a few different computers and internet connection possibilities at different locations. I get similar results in different places. So I do not think it is intermittent problems to do with my internet connection. What I mean by this is that an account that currently is working consistently will work in various places with different quality internet connections. </p>
  
  <p>My guess is that the problem is coming from automated security measures, which will be different for different providers, so that is why I an asking for other peoples experience with Email accounts and CDO Message sending coding.</p>
  
  <p>In all cases, an account that stops working in the CDO coding, still works manually. I am aware that there are temporary blocks often made when accounts are used from new locations. This only causes a temporary block. This is not my issue. These temporary blocks also occur on the working accounts, and I know how to deal with them. </p>
  
  <p>Thx
