Email Problems

Follow the troubleshooting steps below.

  • Our first recommendation is always to test your E-mail functionality using our WebMail Client
    If you cannot send and/or receive E-mail using WebMail, then please
    CONTACT SUPPORT
    If you CAN send/receive using WebMail, then please continue on through the instruction.
  • The next step is to check your E-mail programs settings. We have detailed instructions on
    setting up the most popular E-mail clients, including
    MS Outlook, Eudora, and more...
    If your E-mail settings are correct, then please continue on.
  • Your ISP, or Internet Service Provider may also be affecting the proper functionality of your
    E-mail system. Many ISP's including, but not limited to:
        • EarthLink/MindSpring
        • MSN
        • Most any free ISP, such as NetZero or BlueLight
    Do NOT allow outgoing E-mail (SMTP). Click
    here for more information. If your ISP is not mentioned here, then we have a simple test that you can perform to find out.

    Go to your Windows Start menu, and choose " Run "
    Type the following command: telnet mail.yourdomain.com 25
    (Note: This will test your ability to SEND E-mail.)
    OR:
    telnet mail.yourdomain.com 110
    (Note: This will test your ability to RECEIVE E-mail.)

    If you can connect via Telnet, then the port is open, and you will be able to send/receive email. Click here if you need further assistance.
