Continued Email Problems

We continue to have issues with our emails.  Recipients are saying they never received emails we've sent.  This is even happening to people with email addresses we have emailed in the past with no issues.  This is beyond frustrating, trying to run a business, paying for an email service that is starting to be useless.  We have to resort to sending emails through a different (free) email we use.  I need answers and hopefully solutions.

Hello 

Can you provide the domain in question here? Also, are you accessing your email through Roundcube or using a third‑party email client?

Our domain is rafranchicorp.com (we have 3 email addresses associated with it and this happens with all of them).  We are using a browser window/roundcube not a third part email.

@rebecca2758​ Hello.

Please be informed that your emails have been restored. Kindly monitor your email functionality and test both sending and receiving. At present, both accounts are working fine. Thank you.

You may need to ask the recipient to add your email address to their whitelist. In the last test, your email worked both ways, sending and receiving. There are many factors that can cause an email not to be received, such as the recipient’s filtering system.

Since you are using Roundcube and we have already corrected the records, including TXT, the next recommendation is to ask the recipient to add your email to their whitelist.

I tested by sending to my personal gmail (which is the email it is forwarded to) and one of the other emails under our domain- that is absurd if those can not go through.  And a lot of times it's emails I have already corresponded with that are now all of a sudden not receiving my emails.

Hello.

I’ve been trying to reach you through your phone number; however, the call keeps redirecting me to the IVR.

Hello 

I have successfully verified your sending and receiving functions, and the email forwarder is working properly. You should be able to see the emails in your inbox, and I have received them as well. As a next step, it’s best to ask the recipient to add your email address to their whitelist and check again. In the meantime, I’ll be creating a ticket for further investigation.

Note: Some email filtering systems automatically scan for certain keywords, patterns, or behaviors that may resemble spam or suspicious activity. Even legitimate emails can sometimes be flagged or delayed if they contain trigger words, unusual formatting, or if the sender’s domain/IP reputation is not fully established. Adding your address to the recipient’s whitelist ensures that your emails bypass these filters and are delivered directly to their inbox.

I have checked the spam folder and the email I sent isn't in there either.  It seems really strange that sending emails to addresses with the same domain/our own account aren't even going through.

We are having issues with our Outlook not being able to connect with the e-mail service, and give us this message now:

Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for "E-mail Address".' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for... Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

We have to update remove our account from Outlook, redo everything again with other Port Information, etc. set-up.  You guys need to stop screwing with the e-mail systems and/or send out notifications that there are issues with the e-mail service(s)....stop giving us the run around!!!!!!!!

Hello.

Outlook is a third‑party application, and Homestead’s support for customers using third‑party email clients is limited to providing the correct server settings.

Homestead cannot control or adjust the settings within your Outlook application, as this is beyond our scope of assistance. It’s important to verify that you have entered the settings correctly; even a small detail that is misconfigured can prevent emails from syncing properly.

Additionally, Outlook may occasionally require updates. These updates can sometimes reset or alter your saved configurations, which means you may need to re‑enter the server settings.

The setup also depends on which protocol you are using, IMAP or POP and each has its own functions and behaviors.

As long as your Homestead webmail (Roundcube) is working correctly, any issue you encounter in Outlook is related to the third‑party application itself, not to changes made by Homestead. In such cases, you will need to recheck and confirm the server settings in Outlook to ensure proper synchronization.

No resolution.  They claimed it's working, yet people are not receiving our emails and we aren't receiving their emails.  This is insane.

We still are not receiving emails and other parties are still not receiving our sent emails.  What are we paying for here?  It's hard to run a business when you can't rely on your email.  I need answers.
