Why can’t I find the email domain I want to add?

  2. Check whether the target domain already appears in the list.
  3. If it does not appear, ask your administrator to configure and allow that email domain first.
  4. 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?

  1. Check the security requirements of the third-party email service first.

Is there a limit on how many third-party mailboxes I can add?

Why can’t I use the mailbox normally after I finish adding it?
