Why won't any of my email accounts send emails replying to ads on craigslist with my mobile app?

Question

Ok so I'm always on my craigslist mobile app and am constantly wanting to reply to ads. I have continuously tried to email people with their "anonymous" email address, but nobody ever replies. I click the "reply by email" button on the mobile app. I have sent well over 30 emails to people from multiple email accounts from in the past few months trying to see if anybody will reply, or if it was just a temporary problem. I've recently found out that nobody replies because they never even got my email!! I have heard rumors about craigslist blocking gmail accounts in specific, and only gmail accounts, because there are too many scammers that use google accounts. But I'm not sure if this is true. I use my mobile regular email app for the I phone that came with it automatically, I didn't download it from the app store. I've also heard talk about this not working right. I have had it for a while then it just stopped sending emails through craigslist. It will show up in my "sent" mail showing that I did sent it, but then when I go check my inbox it says something about checking my settings for my account. All of my settings an account information is correct. I have even tried making completely different email accounts using gmail, hotmail and yahoo. I will put them all on the same original mail app that the i phone automatically came with, but now none of them work. I've even tried posting an ad on craigslist, replying to myself and seeing if it sent to my email an it doesnt!! Yes I have also tried turning off and reseting my phone. I have no idea what to do at this point and really need it fixed because I use email everyday!! Please somebody help!!

I think this an internal problem that craiglist needs to solve or upgrading their system or maybe they are doing maintenance check on all e-mails that they had on their system due to most of them are just spamming to the system they have.

Yahoo just does not care. They give out violations like there is no tomorrow for no reason other than it's your time to be targeted. There is nothing you can do but live with it. Try to be more careful in how you word things - but even that doesn't matter. If someone that reports a lot or someone in yahoo just has something against you - then you're going to continue to get violation notices. It's not even about the rules anymore. Anyone can make any question mean anything they want - therefore any question on here is open for violation. If all else fails they'll call it chatting. Which is what ALL of this is anyway. SO basically according to their own way of thinking anyone can be given a violation at anytime - because all they have to do is say "chatting". It's called discrimination. But hey who are we to complain? Just get used to the fact that anything you ask can and will be violated if you've angered someone.

I've been trying to inquire by email through my computer and nobody answers me either. I use yahoo. I'm beginning to wonder if all responses to ads get blocked if the responder doesn't have their own craigslist account set up. There has to be some reason we're not getting any responses.
