Email not sending
This guide explains how to find out why a Business Email message stays in the outbox or shows a sending error, and how to fix the most common causes.
Before you begin
- The outgoing settings for your app: server
mail.apncloud.com, with port465and SSL/TLS, or port587and STARTTLS. See IMAP and SMTP settings. - The exact error message, if one is shown.
- Access to webmail to test your password.
Steps
- Check the outgoing server. It should be
mail.apncloud.com. - Check the port and security. Use port
465with SSL/TLS, or port587with STARTTLS. Do not mix them. - Test your password in webmail. Sign in to webmail with the same password. If webmail works and the app does not, the problem is in the app settings.
- Try the other port. If port
465fails, try port587with STARTTLS, and the other way round. Keep the security setting that matches the port. - Note the exact error text before you contact support.
Never turn off encryption
Do not switch security off to make sending work. Keep SSL/TLS or STARTTLS on, and check the server name instead.
Expected result
The message leaves the outbox and arrives at its recipient.
If something goes wrong
- Some networks block mail ports. Try a different network, such as mobile data, to check. If mail sends on one network but not another, contact your network administrator.
- A recipient rejected the message. Check the recipient address for spelling mistakes. If many messages are rejected, read Email authentication errors.
- The problem continues. Open a request in the Client Area with your email address, the app you use, the server and port, and the exact error text. Never include your password.
