Can someone help with an email question?

[leftyladyfrommo]

Sometimes a site will ask for my email before I can get any further. I was trying to get into Elizabeth Warren's email. But when I put in my email that I use all the time and it's my only email it gets rejected as an invalid email address. Happens every once in a while


Is there a way to correct this,?

1. Other than to make sure you always type it correctly, no ...

As long as you have characters, then an @ sign, then some more characters, and then a dot, followed by 3 characters, just about anything should be seen as 'valid' if it follows that pattern.

Almost certainly the problem is not on your side as long as the above is the case.

4. Well damn. It always happens when I really need to

communicate with someone or a company.

I hate having to do absolutely everything by computer.

2. Do you have any characters other than @, ., letters and numbers in your email address? n/t

5. No. It's just my name followed by 2 numbers then @gmail.coml

3. Did you go to her official senate website?

https://www.warren.senate.gov/

Under the Contact tab, select "Share Your Opinion" and send her a message.

6. I thought that's what I did but it asks for name and then

Email.

I will try again.

That's a different site than I was on.

Thank you

Nope. Email is required.

So much for trying to reach her.

7. Make sure you haven't accidentally entered

a “space” before or after the email address. I have a habit of hitting the space bar at the end of things and that’s tripped me up before.

8. Will do. Thank you

9. That worked. A space was being added on the end

when I filled the email using my automatic prefill.

Thank you
