If we had a nickle for every time we get this question we would be millionaires.

I can tell you that in 99% of all cases your email is not down at all but rather your internet or network connection went down or was interrupted.

This begs the question: How Do I Know if My Email is Down or Not?

(1) Can you get online and visit websites?

YES = Go to #2
NO = Your Connection to the Internet is Down

(2) Can you access your Mail Server Online by going to mail.yourdomainname.com?

YES = Go to #3
NO = Then the Mail Server is really Down Call VisionLine Media at 856-854-4211

(3) Can you SEND Emails from the SmarterMail interface?

YES = Go to #4
NO = Then the Mail Server is really Down Call VisionLine Media at 856-854-4211

(4) Can you RECEIVE Emails from the SmarterMail interface?

YES = SKIP to #6
NO = Your mailbox may be full Check to see if it is

(5) Mailbox is not full but you can’t receive emails

Call VisionLine Media at 856-854-4211

(6) If you answered yes to the previous questions then your Email is fine but your local network has problems. Call your network administrator or your IT department
