Unable to connect to email server. Error message

This message is informing the user that the incorrect Server / IMAP Host details has been placed into that area of the Email Setup. In this example, the imap credentials were put in incorrectly.

Correct Server / IMAP credentials:
Gmail: imap.gmail.com
Outlook: outlook.office365.com

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

This is another error message that shows after Testing the Connection. This error is related to another incorrect Server / IMAP Host credentials. The correct credentials can be found above.

Error message: Invalid credentials (Failure)

The invalid credentials error is related to incorrect Email or Password. For this example, I used an incorrect password.

Unable to connect to email server. Error message: Timed out while connecting to server

This error message is related to the application timing out after trying to connect to credentials that does not exist. 

Alternatively, the time-out is for security purposes and the server will block the email address you've entered.


What we are attempting to do with the troubleshooting is as follows:

1. Ensure that you are using the correct Email Password in the Password section. Please be sure you are using your email password and NOT your CW user password.

2. Refreshing the system - sometimes their is a time-out for security purposes and the server will block the email address you've entered.

If all refreshes and the correct password is entered - you should receive a green message at the top right hand corner showing Email Last Checked: date/time.
