Hi James3130, Sorry about the problem with your email. We'll be happy to look into this for you. There could be a large number of things causing this so we'll need you to provide is with as much detail as possible.

First, how are you checking your email? Outlook, cell phone, OX web client?

Also, is the sender getting any bounce message?

Well, reading the other threads here it seems a lot of people are having the same problem. I check it via apple mail but also logged into the e-mail service here on homestead. I didn't receive their e-mails through either service.

I don't know if they received bounce backs.

This was on Wednesday- later e-mails from the same company came through.

Good morning James3130. Mostly, we have been able to resolve the problems with some tweaking of the settings. In your case, there does seem to be something else going on. I am investigating it and will let you know what I find.

Thanks

I haven't been getting emails either since yesterday, Sunday, 2/9. People are getting bouncing messages. One of my email accounts is working but the main one I use isn't. Are there still email system issues? I saw there was on on the 7th.

Can you tell us which domain/email address this is happening with. Also, if you can get one of the bounce messages and post it here, it will most likely give us the reason for the bounce.

I am not getting emails to either one of my emails associated with my domains. sj@designluxe.com

The senders are getting a return message failure. This is not good and homestead support is closed on the weekend.

We are here in the community on the weekends. I looked at all I can here and nothing seems to be a problem. There is a load of diagnostic information in the bounced message.

Can you get a copy of it? You can post it here or fill out this form.

You have 2 problems. One is that this is an error generated by Zimbra. Your account has been converted to the new email platform. You should be going to homestead.com and clicking on the Webmail button at the top right to log in to your email.

The second and larger issue is that your domain has been suspended. I placed you earlier question in the topic that can solve this issue for you. Your email will not work until you update your domain.

You must use an email address you currently have access to. This is the only way to reactivate your domain. If you don't have one, register a free gmail.com address and use it.

I want the old email server (Zimbra) back! This transfer has been a disaster. I work with Hospice and this is just not acceptable. Lots of emails getting bounced back to sender and emails I have composed and "sent" have disappeared (not even registering in the sent or draft folders since 2/9/14) I've had my website with Homestead for over 10 years and this may be a deal breaker.

Hi Julie1237, Sorry for any issues you have had with regard to the email. Unfortunately it is not possible to revert back to the old system. There can be a variety of reasons that you may be having trouble sending, or receiving. First we need to know how you are checking your email; with the web client, or a 3rd party app such as Outlook? Also, are there any bounce/undeliverable messages that you get, or that those sending to you get?

Thanks for your input Mike. I will follow your suggestions regarding cleaning up my email lists, etc. Thank you for working towards unblocking my IP address. I will also engage mailchimp to insure that recipients can unsubscribe more easily if they so choose.
I have not received any "undelivered messages" to forward to you. That is what is making it a little worrisome. I don't know who has received emails and who hasn't. In any case, to provide further information, I answer the majority of emails through my iPhone. Now I am spending more time at my desktop as it delivers more reliably.

250 Points

I too have not been receiving any undelivered messages. I don't know how many emails I have not gotten and how many have not been delivered. We are still missing many emails and people are still not getting ours. This has been happening since December and we have lost thousands of dollars as well as upsetting clients. I was getting support but got no reply to my last email(weeks ago) so now I am wondering if you even got it. I am missing emails from regular senders as well as who knows how many others. the domains I know I am not getting mail from are:
cmusic.com
lewispalmer.org
springsweddings.com
Our prime selling season for the year occurred during this mess and now our year forecast is at a 70% percent loss.
I need all mails that have not gotten through in hopes of salvaging any possibility of a piece of business. I am on the verge of tears. Please help fix this and get me my missed emails!!!!!!!!!

Hi John9725, sorry for the issues you are having with the email. We'll be happy to help you troubleshoot this. The first thing well need to know is how you are sending/receiving email? Are you using the Webmail link at the top of www.homestead.com, or are you using a 3rd party app such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or any smart phones and/or mobile devices.

Please list alll that apply and tell me if they are configured as POP, or IMAP.

We have already been through this as I stated I asked for help before, but I use windows live mail as pop and using two smart phones (HTC). We are receiving the same emails on all devices. We have noticed drops in regular emails as well as angry clients claiming we are not answering emails we never got. Employees have stated we have not sent emails we know we have. I am also not getting emails from listen360.com. I just paid $500 to receive emails from one of these providers that I am not receiving. This has been going on since December 16th! I am desperate as we are sinking fast from this. Please help me this time.

If you are have multiple devices that you are checking email on you'll want to start troubleshooting one device at a time. I will need to know specifically how each device is configured. How are the HTC devices configured? Are they Androids (also POP), or are they IMAP? Also if you log into the Webmail using the link at the top of www.homestead.com can you send and receive email ok?

Mike

2014-03-01T02:20:36+00:00

All 3 devices are set as pop and the HTCs are androids. I have checked for the missing emails from the homestead link and they are not there either. The emails that we do receive are all the same no matter which way we check it Windows live, HTC, or homestead link. (example: we will receive an email from xyz.com and it will show up on all devices but a customer will complain about us not replying to an email and it will not show up on any device. It seems to be uniform across all devices.) I have not tried to send emails from the homestead link. The sending problems seem to be intermittent so I would not know if that way would be working correctly or not and we are unsure how many emails never went out that we thought had. We primarily use the windows live to send emails and rarely use any other device.

Mike F., Alum

184,678 Points

Are you saying that you are not receiving some emails? And therefore unable to reply to them?

If so, there could be several things going on. First having multiple devices configured as POP accounts not a good idea as the POP configuration pulls emails off the server making them unavailable on other devices, unless the devices have a setting to "leave a copy on the server". Before we can troubleshoot any of the devices we'll first need to make sure the web mail client is working. What you will need to do is cease using any 3rd party devices and strictly use the web mail. If you are not receiving emails from a certain person, then we'll need to know if they are getting any bounce message. Also, there's a chance that that particular sender is being blocked as spam. If you can get a copy of the original email via an alternate email address and send that to us or post it hear, we can check and see if it's our spam filter blocking it. If the sender is getting a bounce message, you the bounce message will usually say who it is being blocked by also.

I agree completely with Julie. I am not happy with this new system either. Today it has gotten stuck several times, and I only have a brief time to check my email in between clients. Also I have sent emails and they just seem to disappear. I'm checking my email via the online OX program/server whatever. It's weird that I can get some of my emails through my iPhone but the online application just seems stuck forever; and I'm always getting error messages. Just got one while complaining on this forum. "Folder "INBOX" has been closed on mail server localhost. Probably your request took too long. (MSG-1003, -1843868893-1092791). This is unacceptable. I'm going to be looking into other options as well, and I've been with Homestead since 2008!!

But the problem is not with my iPhone. The problem is when I log onto the Homestead email website. That's where I got the error. As for my iPhone, I've tried both the POP and IMAP settings and they seem to work equally as well (meaning not as well as with Zimbra). My iPhone seemed to sync better with the Zimbra email.

The error messages are something we are working on fixing. If you are having trouble receiving or seeing some emails in the web client, it might be a result of the configuration on your iPhone. Is your phone currently set up as POP, or IMAP?

Hi Andrew8522,

This isn't something we can fix from our end, but I can point you in the right direction. Since you have your domain's nameservers pointed to Wordpress, Wordpress controls the underlying DNS/MX records. You'll want to start by contacting Wordpress to assure that they still have the correct gmail MX records in the system. If they do, then all your email should be funneling through Google. If they have the correct mx records, and you are still not getting email then check with Google next.

Hello Lane1824, I've taken a look at the information you submitted through the online form, but there's nothing there that seems to be getting you blocked. We'll have to dig a little deeper to see what is going on. Can you tell me if other message send and receive ok? For example if you just draft a new email to someone rather than clicking the reply button and then editing the recipients address? There could be something embedded in the original email that we can't see which is blocking the emails.

2014-03-05T15:20:25+00:00

Mike- yes, please take a closer look and let me know. I typically send 100-200 emails per month using this method: simply retrieving a prior sent item, and reply-all with just editing the particulars. I do this to submit PO's to 2 different suppliers. It seems the one supplier that has the most issue not getting my emails is an earthlink address. The other domain address is with TRIMPARTS.COM, which has only had a few intermittent "misses" since the platform upgrade. Going forward, I will start drafting completely new messages to test you theory. Please let me know if you see anything else. THanks, Lane

I am paying for about 50 email addresses on one of my Homestead websites. 2 weeks ago they stopped working completely (this was the second time in 6 months). 4 days ago I received an email to my Homestead login address stating "Your Homestead email has been upgraded to a new email provider". I assumed that the transfer to a new server was going on and that is why no one has been able to get their email addresses to work the last 2 weeks. Since the upgrade, I can get the addresses to send mail but not receive mail. I have tried over and over again for 3 days. I have submitted a detailed report to Homestead. Hopefully a solution will happen quickly. Please let it happen quickly!

I was having the same issues as everyone else here but I figured out the problem. I decided to share how I fixed my problem in hopes this may help someone out there! I was not getting any emails. I had my husband send me one and his message said it was bounced back. I did some investigation and found that when all my folders were integrated from the old email to the new platform ALL folders were integrated including my trash and sent folders. This filled up my quota for emails. In the bottom left hand corner of the email screen it showed that the emails were full. So the simple fix were to go in and delete all of my sent emails and then emptied my trash and then I began getting emails again.

I hope this may help at least one frustrated person out there! I left a message on one of these boards and didn't get a response so I had to figure it out myself.

Good LUCK!

Hi Steven6632,

It looks like you have your domain name pointed to another company's nameservers, according to whois. You then had the email records, for the domain, pointed back to us. This worked just fine until we migrated your email to our new email service. Our new email service has new records that you would need to change on your domain in order for it to function properly.

You can find the records that you need to get added/updated on your domain at this link: https://community.homestead.com/homes.... These would be updated with the company that you have the domain name pointed to. Once you get those updated, your email with us will begin to function properly in 24-48 hours.

Thanks,

Hi Faisal9631,

If you set the email address up as a POP3 connection in Outlook, that will just pull the email off of our email servers onto your computer. There wouldn't be anything that we could do for you to get the emails back in your webmail account. The only thing that you could try would be to set the account up as an IMAP connection in Outlook, then move all of the emails out of the folder for the POP3 setup into the folder for the IMAP setup. That should move the emails back onto our server.

Thanks,
Matt

That error could mean several things, but generally, it indicates there is a problem with the recipients email box, or that it does not exist, or it can't be found.

In this particular case, the domain name for the address above is registered at GoDaddy, but the nameservers are pointed to Homestead, and the MX records pointed to Zoho Mail. So, if you are using Zoho Mail, you'll need to contact their support for assistance.

I see on the Homestead system, you created three email addresses for that domain name. If you intend to use Homesteads email system, then we'll need to change the MX records back to Homestead's.

Which company do you wish to use for the email service?
