IMPORTANT NOTE:
A large number of Samsung users have found it impossible to properly set up their third party provider email accounts on the Samsung SIII. For these users, it is widely recommended to download an independent mail application to use instead of the default one provided with your phone. A variety of successful apps can be found at the Google Play store. Sample mail program here >

The goal of SiteWyze technicians is to ensure that your email account is running properly on our server. This is generally confirmed by logging into your webmail account (www.yourdomain.com/webmail). When using email software provided by another developer, we can assist with general account information only. Additional support would require accessing the software provider’s technical team.
