Please check that you have entered correct spelling for your 2nd email-id. If you are sure that you have then try sending a test message to the 2nd email-id and see if you receive it. If this doesn’t work for you, then remove the forwarding and check whether you can receive emails on your email address or not.
I am unable to receive any emails sent to my email-id, why?
Make sure the MX record for your domain is info@creativewebsols.cm and your domain has not expired yet else you wont receive any emails on your domain. Also check that the email-id on which you are trying to send emails is not forwarded to any other email-id.
While trying to receive messages in my email client, I get a message saying, “The host mail.360dbs.com could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly”, why?
Please make sure that you are connected to the Internet. Check this by opening some web sites using your web browser. If you are online then make sure that you can reach Creative web solution’s mail server. Try tracing mail.360dbs.com and see if you can reach it.
For doing that, go to MS-DOS Prompt from your PC and type tracert mail.360dbs.com. If at the end of it, you get a message saying “Trace Completed” and you don’t get any “Request Timed Out” messages in between, it means that network connectivity exists between your PC and Creativewebsolution’s Mail Server. Then you shouldn’t be having any problems downloading emails. If you still have, then contact your local network administrator to find out that there is no restriction on pop mails in your network and your Proxy Server (if any) supports POP3 and SMTP.
While downloading my emails, I get a message saying, “Your POP server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait for another 60 seconds”, why?
This happens if your email client has established connection with the mail server once and after that the connectivity has been lost. The possible causes are low speed connectivity, overwhelming requests on the server, network problems etc. Try and trace mail.360dbs.com to find out network problems. Go to MS-DOS prompt in your PC and type tracert mail.360dbs.com and check where do you find maximum latency and inform our support team if the delay is at Creativewebsolution’s end.
I have changed my email password and I am unable to login to my email-id after that. Why?
Please make sure that you are trying your new password in correct case. If it still doesn’t work, get it emailed to your administrative email-id from your control panel a https://www.creativewebsols.com/ to be 100% sure that it is correct.
While trying to receive emails, I can see messages getting downloaded and in between it gets stuck, why?
This normally happens if you have a low speed connection (dial-up) and the size of messages you are trying to receive is big. Can happen in good quality connections as well if the message size is huge. This happens because SMTP and POP3 protocol were designed keeping in mind that they will serve the transfer of short messages and most importantly your bandwidth is not good enough to be able to handle that big a message.
To get rid of it, you can login to your email-id using Creative web solution’s Webmail https://www.creativewebsols.com and delete bigger messages if they are not of big importance to you.
I can download/send my emails but at a very slow speed, why?
Downloading emails can be slow if you have low speed Internet connectivity compared to the size of messages you are trying to download. If you feel that you have good enough connectivity and still the email download is slow, check the connection speed between your computer and the mail server. For doing this, you need to go to MS-DOS prompt on your PC and type ping mail.360dbs.com. Find out the time it takes to ping the mail server. If it is less than 600 ms, the connectivity is good enough to download emails at normal speed. If it is above that, then you need to find out where is it getting delayed using tracert command. On MS-DOS prompt, type tracert mail.360dbs.com. If you can’t understand the figures you are getting on the black window, please call up Creative web solution Support Team for help.
I am not using Creative web solution as my ISP and I can’t send/receive my emails, why?
If you are able to open websites and are able use email-ids other than Creative web solution, then you need to trace Creativewebsolution’s mail server from your network. If you are using a PC, then type tracert mail.360dbs.com on command prompt. For analyzing the results, contact Creative web solution support team and contact your local ISP if the problem is at their end.
I am getting all my old emails, which I had downloaded earlier, why?
The most probable reason for receiving your old emails once again is that you have recently configured your email client and you have done it before with the option “Leave a copy on the Server” checked. Since a copy of your email is already there on the mail server and your recently configured email client is treating them as fresh emails, it will download them on your PC.
I am getting multiple copies of one email and fail to understand why? (Repeated Emails)
The most common reason for receiving repeated emails can be explained using an example. You’ve created an email-id a@yourdomain.com and forwarded it to itself and b@yourdomain.com. Now you have both the email-ids configured in your email client and if someone sends you an email at a@yourdomain.com, you are bound to get 2 copies for the same message (one for a and other for b account). This is the basic concept which can become a more complex one if you have number of email-ids on your domain and you do lot of email forwarding between those email-ids.
How do I get rid of junk messages from my mailbox?
The best possible way is to identify the Sender host’s IP address from the message headers and send a formal complaint to the person responsible for that IP address stating that the aforesaid IP address is responsible for sending you the unsolicited emails. Find out the email address of person responsible for a particular IP address from http://www.apnic.net/ for Asia-pacific regions. If you need help for finding the IP address and the person responsible, contact Creative web solution’s support team. If the sender is using Creative web solution’s email services, please inform our support team and Creative web solution will be immediately taking action against unsolicited email sender.
I am receiving a number of bounced messages while I haven’t sent any emails to anyone, why?
This is a symptom of virus in your PC. Recent viruses/worms keep sending emails from infected PCs without the user’s knowledge. If a machine is infected and is online, viruses use it to spread themselves through emails. They use their in-built SMTP engine and infected user’s address book for sending those emails. Immediately clean your PC with good and updated anti-virus software. If you don’t know how to do this, contact your hardware/software vendor for the same.
I’ve sent a few emails to myself but I haven’t received any?
Mails can get delayed rarely during peak hours due to huge/unexpected traffic. This will be a rare case. Please be patient and wait for a while before your mails will get delivered.
I’ve sent a few emails to other email-ids, neither have they reached nor bounced back to me, why?
This happens; if the remote SMTP is unable to receive emails due to heavy traffic, network congestion, misconfiguration or overwhelming requests or remote SMTP is down for some reason. Creative web solution’s email server will keep those messages in queue for its next delivery attempt and will bounce it back to you after it fails to deliver them in a fixed amount of time.
People complain that they have sent me a few emails but I haven’t received any, why?
Find out from which email-id they sent those messages. Take out the domain part and try to ping that domain from your PC. A domain name should resolve to an IP address to be able to send emails to our mail server. If it doesn’t Creative web solution’s mail server won’t accept the message and sender will get an error. If the sender hasn’t got an error message yet, he/she needs to contact his Mail server administrator.
In case you find that sender’s domain actually does resolve then the most likely reason why you did not receive the message is that it wasn’t resolving when the email was sent to you. Sender should get an error in any case
While trying to send a message I get “550 Relaying Denied” message, why?
Make sure that you are using SMTP of your Internet service provider(ISP) as your Outgoing Mail Server and your “From Email-id” is @yourdomain.com. You won’t get this error message irrespective of the ISP you are using.
The emails I sent are bouncing back with some error; I don’t know from which server are they bouncing back?
Every bounced message contains an error message, which is normally a self explanatory one. If an error has come from any of Creative web solution’s Mail Server, it will contain the name of that server with extension Creative web solution.com (e.g.mail.360dbs.com).The most common SMTP errors have been discussed at the end of this FAQ section with the reasons. If you need help in understanding the bounced message, contact our Support team.

I tried to send someone email but got a bounce message. Is something broken on your server or with my machine?
