Note on Common Errors When Connecting a Domain

If you encounter any of the following errors during the domain connection process, here’s what they mean and how to resolve them:

  • Workspace Already Exists: This error indicates that a mailbox is still active on the domain you're trying to connect. You will need to reach out to the domain registrar (from whom you purchased the domain) and delete the existing mailboxes associated with it. You will need to delete the workspace where the domain currently exists in order to connect it again successfully.

  • Permission Required: This error means that Zapmail is unable to access your domain because permission to connect it has been blocked from the Cloudflare side.

  • Domain Already Connected: This message appears when the domain you're trying to add is already connected to a Zapmail account. Please check your domain list to avoid duplicates. If needed, contact support to help identify and resolve the issue.

Note: Each Zapmail workspace can be linked to only one Cloudflare account.
If you wish to connect a new Cloudflare account, please reach out to our support team.
