However, receiving email relies on your email application successfully connecting to your incoming mail server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that connection cannot be&nbsp;established, your email application&nbsp;won&#8217;t&nbsp;be able to download new messages, even though your internet connection appears normal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common causes include:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li id=\"htoc-incorrect-incoming-mail-settings\">Incorrect incoming mail

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If websites do not load, resolve your internet connectivity issue before troubleshooting your email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6
