FAQ

  • I get some certificate error
    image_thumb49_thumb
    Answer: The mail server is configured with a SSL certificate specific to the host (srvX.sgcloudapp.net), using another domain name e.g mail.domain.com will typically give you this error. just view the certificate and ensure it is issued to sgcloudapp.netimage_thumb50_thumb and you will be fine
