Basic Email Troubleshooting
If there is a problem checking email using an email program, here are some basic email troubleshooting steps:
-
Make sure that there is an Internet connection. This can be done by power cycling the modem and PC at least once.
-
Check all email client settings:
- Username
- Password
- Incoming email server (mail.domain name.net)
- Outgoing email server (mail.domain name.net)
-
Check online at the email web server to make sure the account can be accessed through the web server directly.
-
Temporarily disable any anti-virus or firewall protection. It could be set too high to let email traffic through. The settings for the program will need to be checked if that is the case.
-
If the program is still experiencing issues and is still unable to get the email to come through, please call the ISP's local Technical Support.
