Fix: SBCGlobal Email not Working

SBCGlobal.net is a very commonly used email on mobile devices and a lot of users depend on the service to get handle their emails. However, we have received some reports of the SBCGlobal Email not Working which is mostly an indication of a bad internet connection but it might also be related to IMAP configuration or other internet-related configuration issues.

In this article, we will be taking you through the step-by-step process of fixing this issue with all the relevant details and we will also be listing some of the reasons why the issue is triggered in the first place.

Why is the SBCGlobal Email not Working?

If the SBC Global Email is not working on your device, it can be due to one of the following reasons.

• Inefficient Internet Quality: Most of the time, the internet that you are using might be causing the issue by dropping significant packets or due to a lagging connection. Therefore, we suggest that you ensure that the internet connection works properly.
• SBCGlobal Server Issue: On the backend, servers require regular maintenance to ensure that they work properly and are up to the mark. If such maintenance is being performed by the SBCGlobal team, it might put their email out of service for a while. Make sure that this is not the case.
• POP Server Settings: There are certain configurations that you need to ensure have been set properly before you can communicate with the server. If even one of these configurations is incorrect, the SBCGlobal email will not work properly. We have listed how to configure these settings in the solutions below.
• Firewall Issues: On the firewall installed on your system, make sure that the client is whitelisted and that the email can be sent from your computer. If the firewall blocks network packets from being sent from the computer, you will run into issues with the email.

Now that you know the reasons why the issue occurred, you can finally move on to implementing the solutions to fix it.
