Email issues

Q: I bought your product more than XX hours ago and I still didn't receive a download link. I even emailed you and still nothing! Why?


Because unfortunately you do not receive email from Captain Sim. There are several common reasons:

1. Make sure you are checking correct email address.
All sales notifications are sent to the email address used in our online store or to your PayPal address (for purchases via PayPal). Please check.

2. Email from Captain Sim is being blocked by a spam filter.
a. Please check your 'Junk' ('Bulk', 'Spam' etc) folder to see if our messages are being filtered there. If you find them be sure to mark them as 'Not Junk' or 'Not Spam' to avoid this in the future.

List of providers who usually have issues with receiving email from @captainsim.com:

Sometimes email providers may popup with messages like: "Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information."
In this case please double-check the message was actually sent by captainsim.com mail server.

3. Your payment did not come through.
