Easy Solutions for Earthlink Email Issues

 

Earthlink email is one of the popular services that many people use. The email has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface and also offers various features to its users. However, sometimes, users do find problems accessing their email. They usually find their email not working, which makes them unable to access important messages. 

 This problem can occur because of a temporary outage or the email servers being down. Besides that, if your browser is filled with cache and cookies, you might face this problem. This article will give you some easy and effective fixes to resolve the problem. 

 

Fixes to Use When Earthlink Email Is Not Working

There are various quick and easy fixes for this common email problem. Use the techniques below to troubleshoot errors with your Earthlink email.

Enter the correct server settings.

Incorrect server settings will prevent Earthlink from working properly. Here are the correct settings and the process to rectify them.

·         On your phone, navigate to ‘Settings.’

·         Next, tap ‘Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.’

·         Tap ‘Hosting Account.’

·         Hit the ‘Advanced’ button.

·         Enter the correct hostname, username, and password.

·         Turn off the ‘Use SSL’ option.

·         The incoming server port is 110.

·         Now, scroll and tap ‘Outgoing server settings.’

·         Tap ‘Primary Server’ and type the correct hostname, username, and password.

·         110 is the outgoing server port.

·         Hit ‘Done’ after configuring these settings.

Create a new password.

You may find that Earthlink won’t open in case of incorrect login details. In this case, you should create a new password and then log in.

·         Go to Earthlink’s Sign in page.

·         Next, choose the ‘Forgot Password’ option.

·         Input your Earthlink email and verify that you aren’t a robot.

·         Choose a specific recovery option. It can be a phone number or a security question.

·         This option will allow you to make a new password.

·         Login with this password in your Earthlink account.

Examine your internet connection.

If, even after implementing the two fixes above, you find the Earthlink not working, check your internet. A poor internet connection makes you unable to log in and access your email. So, ensure that your signal strength is optimal. 

 Conduct a speed test through a web browser. If the internet speed is below normal, connect with your internet service provider. Tell them about this issue. You can also try to reboot your modem and router and see if you can access your Earthlink email. 

Check the Earthlink server status. 

Sometimes, the status of the Earthlink email service can incur an outage. In such a case, no Earthlink user can sign into their emails. Although it is not a common issue, you cannot rule out its possibility. 

 It may especially be the case if you have reached this fix but cannot access your email. So, check the server status by going online and waiting till it becomes fine. 

 

Final Words 

Your Earthlink email will start working after using these fixes. They are simple and will restore the connectivity back. If you still face any errors while accessing your email account, avail yourself of professional email support.
