@Mail Features: What Sets It Apart From Other Email Services

Troubleshooting @Mail: Common Issues and Quick Fixes@Mail is a convenient, feature-rich email service, but like any platform it can sometimes present issues that interrupt your workflow. This guide walks through the most common problems users face with @Mail and provides clear, step-by-step solutions and preventive tips so you can get back to sending and receiving messages quickly.

---

1) Can’t Send Emails

Symptoms: Messages stay in Outbox, show sending error, or recipients report not receiving them.

Quick checks:

• Confirm internet connection.
• Verify SMTP server settings and authentication (username/password).
• Make sure you’re not over your sending quota or rate limit.

Fixes:

1. Resend: Open the Outbox and try resending the message.
2. Check SMTP settings:
   • Server: [email protected] (example — confirm actual server in @Mail settings)
   • Port: commonly 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL)
   • Encryption: TLS/SSL
   • Authentication: Required — use your @Mail username and password
3. Authentication errors:
   • Re-enter your password.
   • If using app-specific passwords, generate a new one and use it.
4. Large attachments:
   • Reduce attachment size (compress files or use cloud links).
   • Try sending without attachments to confirm.
5. Account/sender blocks:
   • Ensure your sender address isn’t blacklisted or flagged; contact @Mail support if needed.

Preventive tips:

• Use TLS on port 587, keep client software up to date, and avoid attaching very large files.

2) Can’t Receive Emails / Incomplete Inbox

Symptoms: New emails don’t arrive, or only some messages appear.

Quick checks:

• Confirm incoming server (IMAP/POP3) settings and account sync status.
• Check spam/junk folders and filters.
• Verify mailbox storage isn’t full.

Fixes:

1. Check IMAP/POP settings:
   • IMAP server: [email protected] (example)
   • Port: 993 (IMAP SSL) or 995 (POP3 SSL)
   • Encryption: SSL/TLS
2. Sync issues:
   • If using IMAP, force a sync or refresh folders.
   • Rebuild or reset the mailbox index in your email client.
3. Filters and forwarding:
   • Disable or review filters that might move messages to other folders.
   • Confirm no forwarding rule sends messages elsewhere.
4. Spam/quarantine:
   • Search spam/junk and release legitimate messages.
5. Storage limits:
   • Delete large messages or empty Trash to free space.

Preventive tips:

• Use IMAP for multi-device syncing; monitor storage and filter rules regularly.

3) Login Problems / Password Issues

Symptoms: “Incorrect password” errors, account locked, or repeated re-authentication prompts.

Quick checks:

• Caps Lock and keyboard language.
• Try password reset via @Mail’s account recovery.

Fixes:

1. Reset password:
   • Use the “Forgot password” flow; follow email/SMS verification prompts.
2. Two-factor authentication (2FA):
   • If enabled, ensure you’re using the correct 2FA method (authenticator app, SMS code, or backup codes).
   • If 2FA device is lost, use backup codes or account recovery options.
3. Account locked:
   • Wait the lockout period or contact @Mail support for manual unlock.
4. Revoke and reauthorize app access:
   • For third-party mail clients, remove and re-add account access using OAuth/app-specific password as required.

Preventive tips:

• Use a password manager and enable 2FA with backup codes stored securely.

4) Email Delivered to Spam

Symptoms: Legitimate emails land in recipients’ spam folders.

Quick checks:

• Verify sender domain SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured.
• Check message content for spammy keywords and excessive links.

Fixes:

1. Authenticate your domain:
   • Set up SPF record allowing @Mail’s sending servers.
   • Configure DKIM signing for outgoing mail.
   • Implement DMARC policy (start with p=none for monitoring).
2. Improve content:
   • Avoid all-caps subject lines, excessive punctuation, and large images.
   • Include a clear unsubscribe link for bulk mail.
3. Monitor reputation:
   • Use feedback loops and monitoring tools to track deliverability.
4. Ask recipients to whitelist your email or mark messages as “Not Spam.”

Preventive tips:

• Use a verified sending domain and keep mailing lists clean (remove bounces).

5) Slow Performance / App Crashes

Symptoms: @Mail web or app is slow, freezes, or crashes.

Quick checks:

• Test with another browser or device.
• Check for browser extensions that may conflict.

Fixes:

1. Clear cache and cookies or use an incognito/private window.
2. Disable browser extensions (ad blockers, privacy plugins) temporarily.
3. Update the app or browser to the latest version.
4. Reinstall the app if crashes persist.
5. Reduce mailbox size:
   • Archive or delete old messages and large attachments.

Preventive tips:

• Keep software updated and archive old mail regularly.

6) Missing Attachments or Corrupted Files

Symptoms: Attachments fail to download, show as corrupted, or appear missing.

Checks:

• Confirm attachment size limits.
• Try downloading on another device or network.

Fixes:

1. Ask sender to reattach and resend, preferably compressing files into a ZIP.
2. Use the web interface if the client fails to show attachments.
3. Temporarily disable strict security settings that might block downloads.
4. If files are corrupted, request a different file format or transfer method (cloud link).

Preventive tips:

• Use cloud storage for very large files and share links rather than attachments.

7) Sync Issues Across Devices

Symptoms: Read/unread status, sent messages, or folders don’t match across devices.

Quick checks:

• Ensure all devices use IMAP (not POP3).
• Verify sync frequency and network connectivity.

Fixes:

1. Switch clients from POP3 to IMAP where possible.
2. Rebuild folder subscriptions and resynchronize accounts.
3. Check for conflicting rules or local-only folders.
4. Log out and back in on each device; remove and re-add the account if necessary.

Preventive tips:

• Use IMAP for consistent multi-device syncing; avoid local-only folders.

8) Emails Bounce Back (Non-delivery Reports)

Symptoms: You receive bounce messages (NDRs) stating delivery failed.

Quick checks:

• Read the bounce message for error codes (e.g., 550, 554) and reason.
• Confirm recipient address is correct and active.

Fixes:

1. For 550 (recipient rejected) — verify recipient address and domain.
2. For 554 (spam rejection) — check content and sender reputation; follow deliverability fixes above.
3. For 421 or temporary errors — retry later; these are often transient.
4. If your IP/domain is blacklisted, contact @Mail support and check blacklists for removal steps.

Preventive tips:

• Keep recipient lists clean and monitor bounce rates.

9) Calendar or Contacts Not Syncing

Symptoms: New contacts or calendar events don’t appear on all devices.

Quick checks:

• Confirm calendar/contacts sync is enabled and using the correct account.
• Check app permissions for access to contacts/calendar.

Fixes:

1. Re-enable sync or toggle sync off/on for the account.
2. Export/import contacts if sync fails repeatedly.
3. For calendar, verify correct calendar selected when creating events.
4. Update app and OS permissions.

Preventive tips:

• Use the same account for mail, contacts, and calendar; keep sync enabled.

10) Account Compromised / Unauthorized Activity

Symptoms: Unfamiliar sent mail, changed settings, or login alerts.

Immediate actions:

• Change your password immediately and sign out all active sessions.
• Enable 2FA if not already active.
• Revoke app passwords and connected apps you don’t recognize.

Cleanup:

1. Review Sent folder and Trash for unauthorized activity; inform contacts if phishing was sent.
2. Check account recovery options (phone/email) and update them.
3. Scan your devices for malware with an up-to-date antivirus.

Report:

• Contact @Mail support to report compromise and request additional logs or account review.

Preventive tips:

• Use strong unique passwords, 2FA, and a reputable password manager.

Common Diagnostic Commands & Tools (For Advanced Users)

• Use telnet or openssl to test SMTP connectivity:

  
  openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect [email protected]:587 

• Test IMAP SSL connectivity:

  
  openssl s_client -connect [email protected]:993 -crlf

When to Contact @Mail Support

Contact support when:

• You suspect server-side outages (widespread failures).
• Account recovery options fail or the account is locked.
• There’s evidence of blacklisting or abuse tied to @Mail servers. Provide: timestamps, error messages, example message IDs, and steps you’ve already tried.
