Webmail not working or not receiving emails? 10 fixes
Work through these in order; most problems are solved in the first five.
- Is it just you?Open webmail on your phone's mobile data. If it works there, the problem is your network or browser.
- Clear the browser cacheOr try a private window or another browser.
- Check the mailbox quotaA full mailbox stops new email. Delete large old emails or raise the quota in your control panel.
- Look in Spam / JunkAnd check any filters that move or delete email.
- Check the MX recordsIf the domain's MX records point to another provider, new email goes there. Your host's DNS page shows them.
- Forwarding without a copyA forwarder set to “do not keep a copy” sends email away from the mailbox.
- Server or host outageCheck your host's status page.
- Blocked IPMany failed logins can block your IP; ask your host to unblock it.
- Webmail program errorIf Roundcube shows “connection to storage server failed”, the mail server is overloaded; try later.
- Use an email appIf the webmail page itself is the problem, an IMAP app such as ECOMHUTSY Webmail can still read your mailbox.
