Email support

Remote email support for Bairnsdale & East Gippsland

When email stops working, everything else seems to stop too. Whether it's Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail or a business address on your own domain, I help work out why messages aren't sending, arriving or syncing, and get your inbox back under control.

Available 7 days by appointment. Windows and macOS. $89 per hour.

Common email problems

  • Your business email on your own domain isn't working properly

Business email on your own domain

An address like you@yourbusiness.com.au looks professional but relies on a few settings working together: your domain, your email hosting and the app you read it in. I can help configure and troubleshoot those pieces so mail flows reliably. Hosting is provided by your chosen email provider, not by Grimace Remote.

Locked out or worried about a message

If you've lost access, I'll guide you through the official recovery steps for your provider and help secure the account once you're back in. Recovery depends on the provider and the information you can verify, so it can't be guaranteed. If an email looks suspicious, I can help you check it before you click anything.

What can't be done remotely

Remote support covers a lot, but not everything. If your request falls into one of these areas, I'll say so before we start rather than after.

  • Bypassing a provider's own account recovery or security checks
  • Retrieving emails that have been permanently deleted by the provider
  • Phone email setup where the phone can't be connected to the session

Common questions

Can you assist with Gmail?

Yes. I can help set up Gmail in a mail app, fix syncing and sending problems, organise labels and filters, and guide you through Google's account recovery steps.

Can you get me back into my email account?

I can guide you through your provider's official recovery process and help secure the account afterwards. Whether access can be restored depends on the provider, so recovery can't be guaranteed.

Can you set up email on my own domain?

Yes. I can help connect your domain to an email hosting provider, configure the required settings and set the account up on your computer.
