Frequently asked questions
Why do my emails go to spam?
Common causes include missing SPF/DKIM records, blacklisted IP addresses, spam-trigger words, or recipients marking your emails as spam. We'll diagnose and fix the underlying issue.
What's the difference between IMAP and POP3?
IMAP syncs email across all devices (recommended). POP3 downloads email to one device and typically deletes from server. We recommend IMAP for most users.
Can you recover deleted emails?
Sometimes. If emails are in "deleted items" or "trash" folder, yes. If permanently deleted, recovery depends on email provider and backup availability. We'll assess your specific situation.
Why does my email keep asking for a password?
Usually caused by incorrect password saved, expired authentication token, or server setting changes. We'll identify the exact cause and fix it permanently.
Can you migrate my email to a new provider?
Yes. We handle email migrations with minimal disruption, preserving your email history, contacts, and folder structure.
Do you work with business email systems?
Absolutely. We support Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, hosted Exchange, and custom domain email for businesses of all sizes.
How long does email troubleshooting take?
Most email issues are resolved within 30-60 minutes remotely. Complex migrations or business setups may take 2-4 hours.
