Common Email Issues

Unable to Send Email

If you are unable to send email but can receive mail, then you will need to check the following:

1. Make sure your email client has SMTP authentication enabled - be sure to use your entire email address as the username.
2. Try changing your outgoing port to one of our alernate SMTP ports: 26 and 587
   Sometimes ISPs (Internet Service Providers) will block the default SMTP port (25), so it is necessary to change to one of the alternate SMTP ports.
