Zendesk Sell: Email Server Connection Issues
What should I do if Zendesk Sell can't connect to my email server?
If Zendesk Sell reaches your email server but can't connect, it might be due to port issues, firewalls, or server problems.
First, verify that the port numbers for your IMAP and SMTP servers are correct. If the ports are correct, check if a firewall is blocking the connection and consider adjusting it. Lastly, ensure your server is responsive and not down. For more help, consult your IT team.
