Steps you can take to resolve email issues
Clean up your mailbox
Check your email storage quota—if your mailbox is full, clean up your inbox and other folders to make space.- Check your Junk / Spam or Deleted / Bin email folder
If you find an email from us in one of these folders, you may have the option to mark an email as ‘Not spam’ or ‘Not junk’, depending on your email provider.If you have rules configured to sort your mail automatically, make sure rule settings aren’t filtering out emails from us.
- Add us to your ‘safe sender list’
To avoid missing emails from us, you can add us to your ‘safe sender list’.Check your email provider’s help content for instructions—your email provider may also call this an ‘approved senders list’ or ‘email whitelist’.
Depending on what type of email you have, you may need to add addresses one at a time, as you receive emails or you may be able to add our main domain @tmr.qld.gov.au and other versions (for example @notices.tmr.qld.gov.au) to your ‘safe sender list’, to cover all of our emails at once.
- Add us as a contact
When you receive an email from us, you can add our address as a new contact.Check your email provider’s help information for instructions—depending on your email provider, this option may be called ‘Add to contacts’ or ‘Create new contact’.
- Check the mail module for your virus scanner or anti-spam tool
See if emails from us are being filtered out. You may also check your virus scanner or anti-spam tool documentation to find out if it holds the emails in a Spam or Junk folder. - Check your network connection
Make sure you are connected to the internet and that you are receiving emails. Send yourself a test email to make sure your connection is working.
