FAQ
Why can’t I find the email domain I want to add?
- Open Mail Settings and go to Other Email.
- Check whether the target domain already appears in the list.
- If it does not appear, ask your administrator to configure and allow that email domain first.
- After the administrator finishes the setup, return to the add-account page and try again.
Should I enter a password or an app password when adding a third-party mailbox?
- Check the security requirements of the third-party email service first.
- If the service requires an app password for client access, enter the app password.
- If no app password is required, enter the regular password for that mailbox.
- Before saving, confirm that the authentication method matches the server settings.
Is there a limit on how many third-party mailboxes I can add?
- No quantity limit is described for this feature.
- You can continue adding third-party mailboxes as needed.
- If you manage many mailboxes, keep the list aligned with your actual work needs.
- This can help keep the mail client easier to manage.
Why can’t I use the mailbox normally after I finish adding it?
- Check whether the email account is entered completely.
- Check whether the password or app password is correct.
- Verify that the protocol type, incoming server, and outgoing server match the requirements of the email service.
- If the issue continues, review the setup instructions from that email provider.
