Email FAQs

I have problems with my email, what should I do?

Please work through our email support checklist to see if you can resolve your issue.

Will I get email addresses?

If your website is being hosted with us, you can have as many email addresses for that domain as you want.

What type of email accounts can I have?

Please see our Email Solutions page.

What will I need to do to get my emails?

We will send you full details and instructions on how to set up your new email accounts in Microsoft Outlook. See our user guides below.

Can I get my emails via my other email address?

We can redirect your emails to any other email address that you want, e.g xyz@hotmail.co.uk
If you want something a bit more complicated than that, just speak to us and we’ll let you know if what you want can be done.

Will my existing emails stop working?

When your website is ready we will set up your hosting and email addresses.  At that point we will update the DNS (Domain Name Servers) on your domain to point it to your new hosting.  It can take up to 72 hours for these changes to take full effect, however in reality it is usually completed within 6 – 24 hours.  If your existing services are still running, then there should be no interruption as the details change over.  Otherwise there may be a brief interruption to services.
 

Outlook error 0x800CCC0F

Outlook and Outlook Express sometimes present the error 0x800CCC0F.

This error means that the connection between your computer and the server has been interrupted. It is usually caused by a faulty network connection or an overly protective firewall.

Check your internet connection

You may be able to resolve the problem by checking your:

  • LAN connection (if applicable) - ensure your router/switch is correctly sending traffic to your PC.
  • Hardware firewall - ensure your firewall is configured to allow traffic through ports 110, 25 and any other ports your email software uses.
  • Wireless connection (if applicable).
  • Internet connection - check your ISP's status page.
  • Modem/router - rebooting or reconnecting may solve the problem.

Anti-virus and firewall software

Anti-virus and firewall software is a common cause of this problem. Follow your anti-virus/firewall provider's instructions to allow internet access, including email.

Warning: We do not recommend that you disable virus and firewall software.

Other possible solutions

  • Remove your email account from your software, then set it up again. Remember: back up your email and contacts first.
  • Reduce the frequency that your email software checks your mailbox.
  • Check that your MTU size is correct.
  • Reboot your machine.

Common terms explained

 
ISP: Internet Service Provider
Mailbox: Another name for your email account which is identified by your email address.  So, emails sent to your email address would end up in your mailbox (can be called a POP3 account).
Webmail: This is not like an internet email address such as a hotmail, as it doesn't save your sent emails and you can't have folders.
