This guide provides you with information on what to check should you not be receiving emails in your webmail inbox.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There are several reasons why you might be unable to receive emails. In this article, we will look at a few of these reasons, as well as provide possible solutions. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Is your domain’s DNS pointed correctly for email routing?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You have recently transferred from a different host or maybe moved from one hosting platform to another internally  you would need to make sure that your domain points to this current package for it’s emails.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Step1- <\/strong>Type <\/span>cmd <\/strong>on the Start menu to open a Command Prompt.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2 – <\/strong>Type ping mail.yourdomain.co.za<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

** replace <\/span><\/b>mail.yourdomain.co<\/a>.za with <\/b>your<\/strong><\/span><\/span> actual domain name<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3 <\/strong>– Confirm this is the same as the IP address within your cPanel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Is your email account over the disk space?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Each domain email account is created with a set quota. This quota was set when you created the email account in your account\u2019s control panel. The quota can be set to a fixed size or unlimited. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The most common reason incoming emails are not being received is that the email account has exceeded its quota. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

   <\/span><\/p>\n

To resolve this, simply increase the amount of disk quota<\/a> for that email account. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Is email routing setup correctly in your cPanel?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Domain emails hosted on the local hosting account must route their email locally. <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1- <\/strong>Click on email routing in your cPanel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong> – Change the setting to Local <\/strong>should it  be set on anything else.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/span><\/h4>\n
