What does a “Host not found” error mean?

0

In the context of sending email, this error usually means that your email software cannot reach the email server that you have configured. An easy test to determine if this is really an email related issue is to try web browsing. If you can successfully browse the web, you have eliminated either connectivity or DNS as an issue, so check your email configurations (Specifically the spelling of the incoming and outgoing mail servers. See our screen shots section for help with this). If you cannot browse the web, or get a similar “host not found” or “cannot resolve domain name” or other DNS error, then you are most likely either not really connected to the internet, or are having other DNS issues. Double check your connection settings. If you cannot get your connection, or your email to work properly, please contact us.
