Email troubleshooting

Email stopped sending or arriving? We'll trace the fault and get mail flowing again.

  • No new email is arriving
  • Sent emails bounce back
  • Email works for some people
  • Mail stopped after a website

When email stops, quotes, orders and client replies stop with it. An experienced technician traces where mail is failing, whether that's your domain settings, the email provider, a device or a single mailbox, and resolves it.

  • Same-day or next-day, where available
  • Onsite across Perth, or remote
  • No lock-in contract
  • Business and home IT
Common problems

  • Mail stopped after a website, domain or provider change
  • Emails arrive hours late, or only some arrive
How we fix it

How we get email flowing again

  1. Confirm who is affected

    We check whether sending, receiving or both have stopped, and for whom.

  2. Trace the message path

    Message traces and test emails show where mail is stopping.

  3. Check your domain settings

    We confirm your domain points to the right email provider, and look for changes made during a website or domain update.

  4. Check the account and mailbox

    Expired licences, full mailboxes, blocked accounts and mail rules are common causes.

  5. Resolve and verify

    We resolve the cause and confirm mail is flowing in both directions.

  6. Explain what happened

    Plain-English notes on the cause, and how to avoid it next time.

Questions

Email not working answered

Will we lose the emails sent to us while it was down?+

Many mail systems keep retrying for a period, so delayed messages often arrive once the fault is resolved. We'll check what your provider can still deliver.

What usually causes this?+

Common causes include domain settings changed during a website update, expired licences, a full mailbox or a blocked account.

Can you resolve it remotely?+

Usually, yes. We come onsite if computers or phones need hands-on work.

We changed our website recently. Could that be the cause?+

Yes. Website changes sometimes alter domain settings that email depends on. It's one of the first things we check.
