Troubleshooting


  • The user and password are both capitals-sensitve, so ensure you have entered them paying attention to whether they were in capitals or not.

  • If you do not select to authenticate - you will not be able to send emails using this account. Authentication allows us to ensure only our customers can use this service.

  • Older versions of Outlook will have slightly different ways of going about this process, but they will be essentially the same to the one described here.

  • If you are collecting email more often than every 10 minutes your account will automatically be deactivated to ensure other users can collect their emails.
