I'm back home trying to stay in touch with my Korean friends through email, but I'm having problems. I have an English-oriented Yahoo account, and many times when I send email to their Korean-oriented email accounts (Naver, Daum, Hanmail), it is returned to me. It's strange: sometimes mail will reach its destination, and other times it will not. I guess one of the obvious solutions is to get a Korean email account, but that isn't easy since I don't know Korean. Any ideas to resolve this problem? Thanks.

Hollywoodaction,
Something wrong with your business model when you're an email provider that purposely won't allow its users to communicate with others.

When I'm in my looking for a job mode and the return address is Hanmail, my stomach sinks. I figure my chances of them receiving my application and me receiving any replies drops by about 85%.

It's been this way since Al Gore invented the internet. There is no know solution.
