Troubleshooting

• Check User Name Field contains FULL email address (this is the most common mistake as outlook strips the last part of the email itself).
•  Check your incoming and outgoing mail servers are mail.YOURdomainname.com.au
• Then confirm that your password is correct
•  If still not working make sure you have internet access by loading Google.
•  If you have internet access and cannot get your email to work then call GTP on 1300 856 533.

 

 

Troubleshooting Certificate Mismatch re Sending Email.

The server is running with a certifate from gtp.com.au yet your outgoing mail server pathway may be  mail.yourdomain.com.au

To get email to send out you will need to click on SHOW CERTIFICATE if the error comes up "The identity of "mail.yourdomain.com.au" cannot be verified"  . Then you can tick to override and accept this certificate (which is correct) each time.  This should enable your email to now be sent out if it has been getting stuck in the outbox.
