Troubleshooting

Mailbox or sending setup is still preparing

Distinguish DNS waiting from a provisioning operation that needs attention.

Editorial update: October 30, 2026

Identify the pending stage

Open mailbox or domain details and read the state. Incomplete records require DNS checks; Preparing after records pass can mean waiting for mail-service provisioning. Do not alter correct DNS just because a mailbox is not ready.

Safe next steps

  1. Refresh status once and check connectivity.
  2. For a failed operation with Retry, retry that operation rather than creating a duplicate mailbox.
  3. Check available storage and mailbox capacity.
  4. If the state does not change, record the start time, current state and operation ID if shown, then request investigation.

Keep the diagnostic context
