Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check DownDetector

See if Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo is having a widespread outage.

2

Flush DNS

Open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns".

3

Disable VPN

VPNs can sometimes block the specific ports used by email servers.

When to See a Technician

If webmail works but the app says "Unavailable", the issue is likely a local network or firewall setting.
