Can check mails but browser doesn't

That's a frustrating issue!

There could be several reasons why your browser is unable to check emails, while you can do so manually. Here are some potential causes:

  1. Outdated browser: If your browser is outdated, it might not support the latest email protocols or security features. Try updating your browser to the latest version.
  2. Email client settings: Ensure that your email client settings are correct and up-to-date. Check your email provider's settings page for any changes or updates.
  3. Browser extensions: Some browser extensions might interfere with your email functionality. Try disabling any recently installed extensions and see if the issue persists.
  4. Cookies and cache: Clearing your browser's cookies and cache can sometimes resolve issues like this. Try clearing them and see if it makes a difference.
  5. Email provider issues: It's possible that your email provider is experiencing technical difficulties or maintenance. Try checking their status page or social media accounts for any updates.
  6. Browser-specific issues: Some browsers have specific issues with certain email providers. For example, some users have reported issues with Gmail in certain browsers.
  7. Firewall or antivirus software: Your firewall or antivirus software might be blocking the browser's ability to connect to your email provider. Try temporarily disabling these programs to see if it resolves the issue.
  8. DNS issues: DNS (Domain Name System) issues can cause connectivity problems. Try flushing your DNS cache or contacting your internet service provider for assistance.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Open a new incognito window or a different browser to see if the issue persists.
  2. Try accessing your email account using a different email client or app.
  3. Check your email provider's troubleshooting page for specific instructions on resolving common issues.
  4. Contact your email provider's support team for assistance.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your browser, email provider, and the exact error message you're seeing, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the problem!
