Troubleshooting Common Issues

Authentication Problems

If you’re experiencing login issues:

  • Verify your password by logging into Xneelo webmail
  • Check your username – use your full email address
  • Ensure SSL/TLS is enabled on both incoming and outgoing servers

Connection Issues

If you can’t connect to the server:

  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify server names – use either your domain name or the server name provided by Xneelo
  • Try different ports – 587 for SMTP if 465 doesn’t work
  • Contact your network administrator if you’re on a corporate network

Emails Not Syncing

If emails aren’t syncing properly:

  • Check sync settings in your email client
  • Verify IMAP vs POP3 – IMAP keeps emails synced across devices
  • Check storage limits on your device
  • Restart your email application

SSL Certificate Errors

If you encounter SSL certificate warnings:

  • Accept the certificate if you trust the connection
  • Check the server name matches your domain
  • Contact Xneelo support if issues persist

Pro Tips for Better Email Management

Use IMAP Instead of POP3

IMAP is recommended over POP3 because it keeps your emails synchronized across all devices. With IMAP, when you read an email on your phone, it will show as read on your computer too.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

For additional security, consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Xneelo account if available.

Regular Backups

Regularly backup important emails, especially if you’re using POP3, which downloads emails to your device.

Organize with Folders

Create folders to organize your emails efficiently. IMAP will sync these folders across all your devices.

Security Best Practices

Always Use SSL/TLS

Xneelo offers SSL/TLS for mail, which provides secure encryption for your email communications. Always enable SSL/TLS encryption when setting up your email accounts.

Strong Passwords

Use a strong, unique password for your email account that includes:

  • At least 12 characters
  • Mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Numbers and special characters
  • Avoid common words or personal information

Regular Updates

Keep your email applications and operating systems updated to ensure you have the latest security patches.

  1. Check JWD’s Help Centre for the most up-to-date configuration guides
