Sending issues are normally caused by incorrect SMTP settings.
Receiving issues are normally due to incorrect usernames and/or passwords.
Please check webmail to see if unread messages exist, or can send messages.

Other information that can be helpful includes:

- If you have access to a different ISP account, does the problem occur with that connection, too?
- Is the problem consistent or sporadic?
- When did the problem start?
- The results of a traceroute to mail.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain.com is the name of your actual domain name.
