Automatic Configuration Not Working

There are several reasons why the setup process may not work. Usually, this will be because your domain is not registered through us, and is therefore not configured correctly for Exchange mailboxes. You can Raise a Support Ticket if you would like us to help you configure your domain correctly.

Manual Setup

You can configure the mailbox manually by clicking on 'Advanced options' and then ticking 'Let me set up my account manually' in Step 3 above.
