Email Support Process

You report the email problem through our support portal or by contacting our team directly. We immediately assess the severity and impact, prioritising critical issues affecting multiple users.

2. Initial Diagnosis

Our support team conducts a thorough initial diagnosis, gathering information about the problem, affected systems, and recent changes. We utilise diagnostic tools to identify potential causes.

3. Root Cause Analysis

Once we’ve identified the likely cause, we conduct deeper analysis to confirm the root cause and understand why the problem occurred. This prevents the same issue from recurring.

4. Solution Implementation

With the root cause identified, we implement the appropriate solution. This might involve configuration changes, system updates, security patches, or infrastructure modifications.

5. Testing and Validation

After implementing the solution, we thoroughly test to ensure the email problem is resolved and no new issues have been introduced. We validate across all affected email clients and systems.

6. Documentation and Prevention

We document the issue, solution, and any preventive measures implemented. This creates a knowledge base for future reference and helps prevent similar problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my emails are not being delivered?

If your emails are not being delivered, the first step is to check if the problem affects all recipients or specific ones. For all recipients, check your internet connection and email server status. For specific recipients, verify their email address is correct and check if their email provider is blocking your messages. Common causes include authentication failures (SPF, DKIM, DMARC issues), your IP being on spam blacklists, or recipient server rejections. Contact our support team for comprehensive diagnosis and resolution.

How can I fix email authentication problems?

Email authentication problems typically involve SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records. SPF records authorise specific servers to send email on your behalf. DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to your emails. DMARC sets policies for how recipients should handle unauthenticated emails. Configuring these correctly requires DNS changes and careful record setup. Our team can audit your current authentication setup, identify problems, and implement proper configuration. For detailed information about these protocols, visit our dedicated pages on SPF Support, DKIM Support, and DMARC Support.

Why are my emails going to spam folders?

Emails being filtered as spam can result from several factors: poor sender reputation, lack of proper authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), suspicious content, or recipient server policies. Improving your sender reputation requires consistent sending practices, low bounce rates, and proper authentication. We can audit your email configuration, improve authentication setup, and implement best practices to increase deliverability and reduce spam filtering.

Can you help migrate my email to a new system?

Yes, we specialise in email system migrations. We handle migrations from on-premises Exchange to Office 365, between different email platforms, or from legacy systems to modern solutions. Our migration process includes pre-migration planning, data backup, staged migration, testing, and validation. We minimise downtime and ensure no data loss during the transition. Contact us to discuss your migration requirements.

What email platforms do you support?

We provide expert support for all major email platforms including Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Google Workspace, and many third-party email solutions. Our team has deep expertise across these platforms and can troubleshoot virtually any email system. If you’re unsure whether we support your specific email platform, contact us and we’ll confirm our capabilities.

How quickly can you resolve email problems?

Our response times depend on the severity of the issue and your support contract. Critical issues affecting all email users typically receive response within one hour. Major issues affecting multiple users usually receive response within four hours. Minor issues typically receive response within one business day.
