Can't send or receive emails?

  • Verify your DNS MX records point to your hosting server
  • Check that your mailbox isn't full
  • Make sure your email client settings match the ones above
  • Try logging in via webmail to rule out client issues

Emails going to spam?

  • Set up SPF and DKIM records in your DNS zone
  • Avoid sending bulk emails from your hosting account
  • Use a consistent "From" name and address
