Encountering issues with your email software can be frustrating, but this guide provides clear and practical troubleshooting steps to help resolve common problems quickly and effectively.
The most common reason for email client issues is incorrect login credentials.
Confirm your email address and password: Ensure they are entered correctly without extra spaces or typos.
Test using Webmail: You can verify your credentials easily by logging into your Webmail:
Dedicated Email Hosting: https://ventraip.email
cPanel Email Hosting: https://webmail.yourdomain.com
If you can successfully access Webmail, your login details are correct.
Misconfigured settings can prevent your email client from syncing.
Incoming (IMAP) Settings:
Server: ventraip.email (Dedicated) or mail.yourdomain.com (cPanel)
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS
Outgoing (SMTP) Settings:
Server: ventraip.email (Dedicated) or mail.yourdomain.com (cPanel)
Port: 465
Security: SSL/TLS
Double-check your email client’s configuration against these settings.
Occasionally, device-specific issues or software glitches can cause problems.
Restart your device: Rebooting can resolve temporary glitches.
Disable VPN: If applicable, turn off your VPN temporarily, as it may interfere with your email client connection.
Update your device and email client software: Ensure you're running the latest version of your device operating system and email application.
If you suspect your password may be incorrect or forgotten, reset it easily:
Follow our straightforward guide on resetting your Email Password here.
Once reset, update your email client settings with the new password.
Persistent syncing issues may be resolved by re-adding your account.
Completely remove your email account from your email client.
Restart the email client application.
Re-add the email account, carefully entering all required details using the correct settings.
Firewalls and antivirus software can sometimes interfere with email syncing, if you run any additional firewalls or antivirus software on top of what comes pre-installed with your operating system, consider the following:
Temporarily disable your antivirus software and firewall to check if they're causing connection issues.
If disabling resolves the problem, adjust the settings in your security software to allow email client communication.
Ensure your mailbox is not full. A full mailbox can prevent receiving new emails.
You can verify your mailbox storage via Webmail or through cPanel (cPanel Email Accounts) or VIPcontrol (Dedicated Email Accounts)
