Do I need to email the Charge Anytime team from the same email as my Charge Anytime account?

The address my isp uses for sending emails is not the one I use on my chargeanytime account.  Will this cause a problem getting their attention?   I know some companies only respond to queries coming from the email account registered with them.

When contacting OVO via hello@ovoenergy.com or Charge Anytime via chargeanytime@ovo.com we strongly recommend that you use the same email address that you use for your OVO account, as everything is linked under the same customer identity. If you email from a different email address you may then be sent an email advising that OVO couldn’t link your query to an account through our Data Protection process. There’s some helpful info via this link.

They responded to my email from my different account so using an email that is different from your login doesn’t seem to be an issue.

It’s possible that it might be a hurdle @wkeithg , as they often use things like that to verify/link to an account. 
Do you not have an option to send otherwise?

Thanks.  I’ll check if I can tweak something in my email client.

Discovered that bizarrely my ipad sends from the email I use for chargeanytime so I have re-sent my mail from there.  Interestingly I cant set up my email client using that account - virgin media seem to have blocked setting up a new one but they are happy to let an existing one login!

You need to migrate away from ISP email services sooner or later - they’re all slowly going the way of the dodo.

You are right but as a 68 year old techie I (and my wife) have got about 30 years history of using this address as an identifier so it’s a big job to change.
