Email Support FAQs
Why are my emails not syncing between my phone and computer?
This is the most common issue we see. It usually happens when one of your devices is set up using an outdated “POP3” connection instead of a modern “IMAP” or “Exchange” connection. POP3 downloads the email and deletes it from the server, meaning your other devices never see it. We can reconfigure your accounts so everything syncs perfectly in real-time.
Can you help me recover a hacked or locked email account?
Yes. While we cannot magically bypass Microsoft or Google’s security servers, we expertly guide you through the official, often-confusing recovery and identity verification processes. Once recovered, we will help you set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and clean out any hidden forwarding rules the hacker may have left behind.
Do you set up custom domain emails for small businesses?
Absolutely. Running a business from a @bigpond.com or @gmail.com address looks unprofessional. We help Canberra small businesses register domains and migrate to robust Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environments, giving you a professional @yourbusiness.com.au address.
