Email setup and support in Melbourne

If email will not send, messages are missing or a new computer needs an account set up, we can help. Australian Computer Doctors provides Melbourne customers with email troubleshooting and practical setup help at home or work.

We look at the account, mail application and connection together. Mention any other devices using the same email and the tasks you want working, including printing, moving files or setting up a replacement computer.

Get email working where you need it

An account can work in a browser but fail in an application, or show different folders on a phone and computer. Those differences help identify where to start. We can check settings, add an existing account and investigate why messages are not sending or arriving as expected.

Some problems need the email provider to restore access, release a restriction or repair its service. We explain that distinction and help with the parts of the setup we can change. Tell us about stored messages and contacts before removing an account or changing applications.

Before asking for email help

Tell us which email provider and application you use.
Describe whether sending, receiving or signing in is affected.
Mention which other devices can still access the account.
Tell us about older messages or contacts you need to keep.

Common questions

Why does email work on my phone but not my computer?

The devices may use different applications, settings or sign-in methods. An account or connection fault can also affect one device differently. Tell us what works on each device so we can investigate without assuming messages have been lost.

Can you help set up Outlook or another mail application?

Yes. We can help configure an existing account in a suitable application and discuss stored mail and contacts. Compatibility and provider requirements matter, so let us know the account type and the computer you use.

Can you recover an email account I cannot sign into?

We can help work through the available recovery process, but the provider controls access to the account. Recovery may require information or approval from the account holder. We cannot bypass the provider or guarantee restored access.

How do I find out about pricing?

Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on 1300 057 008 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.

How much time should I allow?

Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
