Email Setup and Troubleshooting

Use this page to set up your Hype Studio business email on Apple Mail, Outlook, Mac, PC and Android, or to check the common settings when email is not sending or receiving.

For existing clients: start with Webmail first, then check the device settings below.

Email setup in the right order.

Follow these steps before changing lots of settings. Most email problems come down to the password, the full email address not being used as the username, or the outgoing mail settings.

Step 1. Test Webmail

  1. Go to yourdomain.com/webmail.
  2. Log in with the full email address.
  3. Use the mailbox password.
  4. Send a test email to yourself.

If Webmail works, the mailbox is active and the issue is likely the phone, computer or app settings.

Step 2. Use the right mail settings

  1. Username: full email address.
  2. Incoming: IMAP 993 with SSL/TLS.
  3. Alternative incoming: POP3 995 with SSL/TLS.
  4. Outgoing: SMTP 465 SSL/TLS or 587 STARTTLS.

The mail server is usually mail.yourdomain.com or the server name supplied for your account.

Step 3. Check outgoing mail

  1. Turn outgoing authentication on.
  2. Use the full email address.
  3. Use the mailbox password.
  4. Avoid port 25 unless support tells you to use it.

If you can receive but cannot send, the SMTP settings are usually the problem.

Device setup

Choose the device you are setting up.

Use IMAP unless you have been told to use POP3. IMAP keeps mail synced across your phone, laptop and desktop.

Troubleshooting

If email is still not working.

Work through these checks in order. They help narrow down whether the problem is the mailbox, the device, the password, sending settings or spam filtering.

Step 8. Password

Re-enter the password carefully. If unsure, reset it before changing other settings.

Step 9. Storage

If the mailbox is full, new messages may not arrive. Check quota in cPanel or Webmail.

Step 10. Spam folders

Check junk, spam and quarantine folders. Also ask the sender for the exact time and address used.

Check Webmail first

Step 11. Send details to support

If support needs to check logs, send the sender, recipient, subject and approximate time.

FAQ

Quick answers before you contact support.

What settings do I use?

Username is your full email address. IMAP is usually port 993 with SSL/TLS. POP3 is usually 995 with SSL/TLS. SMTP is usually 465 with SSL/TLS or 587 with STARTTLS.

Should I use IMAP or POP3?

Use IMAP for most devices. It keeps email synced across phones, laptops and desktops. Use POP3 only if you specifically need mail downloaded to one device.

Why can I receive but not send?

Your outgoing SMTP settings are usually wrong. Check server name, outgoing authentication, port, encryption and password.

Why does my phone keep asking for a password?

The saved password may be wrong, the account may be locked, or the phone may be using the wrong server/security settings. Test Webmail first.

What should I send support?

Send the email address, device/app, error message, whether Webmail works, and if a message is missing, the sender, recipient and approximate send time.

Can Hype Studio set it up for me?

Yes. Existing clients can contact Hype Studio for help setting up email on supported devices and troubleshooting mailbox issues.
