Well the thing about zoosk is it’s cheap, however, it needs to do more. I was on this site for a month to trial it out. I was getting about 20 hits that 20 different women sent me a message. So I joined for 6 months. The hits I was getting was a group super send message. Not individual messages. I started after 3 months to get the odd message.

If you cannot send messages, this page provides a series of steps you can follow to check for common problems. If you have problems receiving messages, see Cannot receive messages.

  1. Zoosk review from San Francisco, California rated 3.3/5.0 with 33 Comments: I've been on zoosk as a free member for a few months. I kept getting messages that my profile was being viewed by the same woman once or twice a day for a week.
  2. Sadly, sites like Zoosk and Match don’t allow you to message without subscribing. I don’t know if they still do it, but these websites will sometimes have a promotional offer that will allow you to message for the first few days, there might be an offer out there for ya.

If your existing configuration suddenly stopped working after updating to Thunderbird 78, it might be your Antivirus or Firewall blocking the new version, or your email provider using outdated TLS security protocols. See these sections below:

  • In the Thunderbird menu bar, click the ToolsEdit menu and select Account Settings, or click the Application menu button and select OptionsPreferences and Account Settings from the sub-menu, and select Outgoing Server (SMTP) from the bottom of the list in the left panel. Check that the settings are the same as documented in the article for your mail provider (Gmail, Yahoo, Comcast, Hotmail, Sympatico) OR
  • Look for an SMTP mail settings article on the mail provider's site. This is usually in the support section of their website; searching for 'mail settings' or 'SMTP' will usually find it. Check that your Thunderbird settings match the documented settings.
  • In the Thunderbird menu bar, click the ToolsEdit menu and select Account Settings, or click the Application menu button and select OptionsPreferences and Account Settings from the sub-menu, and select the account name. Verify that you are using the right SMTP server for the email address. Most of the time you cannot send messages from one account provider using another account provider's service. For example, you cannot send a mail from 'joe@gmail.com' through Yahoo's SMTP server.

Verify that your outgoing email is not being blocked by your firewall, antivirus software or your Internet Service Provider:

  • Try briefly turning both antivirus and firewall software off, sending a test email, and turning them on and sending another test email.
Note: Firewall or antivirus software blocking outgoing email is a common cause of not being able to send messages after updating Thunderbird, since it may be set to trust the previous version of Thunderbird and no longer recognize the updated version as trusted.
  • Remove Thunderbird from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back manually or when prompted to resolve this.
  • Many ISPs block outgoing email on port 25. You may have to switch to another port (e.g. 587 or 465). Contact your ISP's support to see if they are blocking your outgoing email port.

Thunderbird 78 expects higher security standards for the so-called TLS network encryption protocol. If your provider does not support the newer versions of the protocol, sending and receiving of messages may fail. You can temporarily lower the bar to check if this is the reason for your problem (which obviously reduces security, so it's not recommended). More details and instructions here:

Try deleting your SMTP password. However, don't do this as a first step, especially if you cannot send messages after updating Thunderbird while you previously could. In such case, usually there is nothing wrong with a stored SMTP password in Thunderbird (see above).

Try changing your SMTP password. This is usually done via a 'reset email password' form on your ISP's support website.

Please create a new support request with a screenshot of your SMTP settings with your user id obscured, and include the following information: your mail provider (for example, Gmail), ISP (for example, Comcast), firewall version (if any), antivirus software and version (if any), operating system and version (for example Windows 7 or Mac OS X Mavericks), and Thunderbird version (for example Thunderbird 38.2.0). See the How do I create a screenshot of my problem? article for information on how to create a screenshot.

Try these steps first

  1. Restart your device:
  2. Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
  3. Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported.
  4. If you’re trying to send group MMS messages on an iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don't see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging on your iPhone, then your carrier might not support this feature.
  5. Make sure that your device has enough space to receive images and videos.
  6. Make sure that you entered the correct phone number or email address for the contact.

  3. If you still can’t send the message, tap , then tap Send as Text Message. Messaging rates may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.

If you see a green message bubble

If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:

  • The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device.
  • iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
  • iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.

If you receive messages on one device but not the other

If you have an iPhone and another iOS device, like an iPad, your iMessage settings might be set to receive and start messages from your Apple ID instead of your phone number. To check if your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.

If you don't see your phone number, you can link your iPhone number to your Apple ID so you can send and receive iMessages from your phone number. You can also set up Text Message Forwarding so you can send and receive MMS and SMS messages on all of your Apple devices.

If you have issues with a group message

If you’re in a group message and stop receiving messages, check if you left the conversation. Open Messages and tap the group message. If you see a message that says you left the conversation, then either you left the conversation or you were removed from the group message. You can rejoin a group message only if someone in the group adds you.

To start a new group message:

  1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button to start a new message.
  2. Enter the phone numbers or email addresses of your contacts.
  3. Type your message, then tap the Send button .

If you have other issues with a group message, you might need to delete the conversation and start a new one. To delete a group message:
