We strive to make the Service available through the most recent versions of commonly used operating systems, email programs/apps, and browsers. We recommend that you keep all your devices and systems up to date, as this will normally improve the availability and security for the Service.

The available storage space for your mailbox is shown in the webmail. When the mailbox is full, incoming and outgoing emails may be rejected (not delivered).

When sending emails via an email program or app (such as Outlook), you must use authentication with a username (your email address) and password. Emails that are attempted to be sent without such authentication may be rejected.
