  • Check all inbox folders including spam/junk
  • Try the password reset process again after 10 minutes
  • Contact your mail administrator if your organization has strict email filtering

Workspace Invitation Email Issues

General Email Delivery Issues

1
Are you checking the correct inbox folder of the correct email account?
  • You can add several email addresses to your account. However, we communicate system emails (e.g. password reset) through your primary email address and workspace emails through the email address in your workspace profile. 
  • Your primary email address is the one marked as primary in your account settings and the one you usually use to login. 
  • Forgotten your primary email address? Send us a message or contact us at support@emdesk.com.
2
Have you checked all your inbox folders including Spam/Junk/Other folders?

Tip: A quick solution to check all your folders is to search manually for "emdesk" through your email inbox folders using your mail client's search function.

  • Found one of our emails in your Spam, Junk or similar folders? It is likely that future emails from us will be classed as Spam. Unmark them as Spam and add us to your contact list. 
  • Mark our emails as not Spam/Junk and add *******@emdesk.com to your contacts. Most importantly, check your spam settings to ensure you receive future emails.
3
Has the mail server rejected EMDESK emails?
  • Some organization's mail servers reject inbound emails for specific reasons and do not forward them to your inbox. 
  • Contact your mail administrator and ask to check the logs if emails from emdesk.com have been rejected. Then you should have our IP addresses white-listed to make sure it is possible to receive emails from us.
