How Do I Fix Email Login Problems? Print

  • Email Login Failed, Wrong Password, Webmail Access, Cannot Log In

You are trying to check your email, but you keep getting a "Login Failed" or "Authentication Failed" error. Here is a systematic way to fix it.

1. Check Your Password (Most Common)

  • Try Webmail: Go to yourdomain.com/webmail and try logging in there. If it works in Webmail but not in your email client (Outlook/Phone), the client has the wrong saved password. Update it.

  • If Webmail fails: You definitely have the wrong password.

    • Reset It: Log in to your cPanel > "Email Accounts."

    • Find the email account and click "Manage" or the "Change Password" option. Set a new strong password and save it.

2. Check Your Username Format

  • Most BurjHost systems require the full email address as the username (e.g., info@yourdomain.com), not just the prefix ("info"). Ensure your email client is using the full address.

3. Check IMAP/POP Settings

  • If your password is correct but you still can't log in via your phone/computer, verify that your Incoming and Outgoing server names are correct (mail.yourdomain.com).

  • Check that you are using the correct ports (e.g., IMAP on 993 with SSL). A wrong port will cause a timeout or failure.

4. Account Suspension?

  • If your hosting account is suspended (due to non-payment), email access will be disabled. Check your BurjHost client area to ensure your service is active.
