I want to register a new email address, but I can't receive a confirmation email at the new email address. Do you know if the following addresses are on the suppression list?

E-mail Address: <personal information redacted>

Hi ​@Yusuke_Manaka

Welcome to Box Community, and we’ll be checking your email address regarding Box notifications. 

 

I've investigated our email server logs and your email address was placed on our email suppression list. This typically happens when a user's email client repeatedly hard bounces our emails back to our server, or when an email inbox is not set up before the Box account was created. I've removed the email from this suppression list, so the user should now be receiving emails from Box.

 

To prevent this from happening in the future, please make sure that your email client, virus scan, ISP, or firewall are not blocking emails from:

  • box.com
  • notify.box.com
  • reply.box.com
  • track.box.com

It's possible that emails may bounce back to Box again. You may need to contact your ISP (internet service provider) or Corporate IT department to assist you. 

 

Please add noreply@box.com and no-reply@box.com to your email contacts and kindly request that emails from the domains mentioned above be included in the email allow list (Safe Sender) to ensure that Box messages are not blocked.  Please review this article: Troubleshooting Issues with Email Notifications

Since my work email address has changed, I created a new account with an email address with new domain, and the confirmation email does not arrive.

I have investigated my company’s server and junk box, etc., but didn’t find any email from Box. 

Could you please check? (I am using old one for creating this post.)

Hi ​@OIOI, welcome to Box Community and we move your post to this related topic, hope you can find this helpful. 

 

In the meantime, you should try the following troubleshooting steps: 

  • Check your Spam/Junk email folder. Sometimes, certain email clients do not recognize email from box.com. If you find Box messages in your Spam or Junk folder, add noreply@box.com to your email contacts, or Safe senders list. This will allow most mail clients to recognize Box emails and deliver them to your Inbox.
  • Firewall, Content Filter, or Email Security Policy: Check if your firewall or virus scan is blocking the email notifications. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Corporate IT department and ask that emails from the following domains be added to the email allow list (safe sender) to ensure that Box messages are not blocked.
    • box.com
    • notify.box.com
    • reply.box.com
    • track.box.com
  • Incorrectly typed email address: Is the sender using your correct email address? Just one mistyped letter will cause an email to go to the wrong address or make it undeliverable. Ask them to double-check that they entered your address correctly.
  • Email on suppression list: If Box notifications ever bounce, emails are automatically added to our suppression list. If the email address(es) is correct and able to receive emails, it can be removed from our suppression list. To do so:
    • Log in to the Admin Console and navigate to the Notifications settings.
    • Remove the affected email address(es) using the Suppression List feature.

      One avoidable reason for getting on the Box suppression list is from creating a new Box account before your actual mailbox or email account is set up.

  • Email scanning issues: If you are experiencing scanning issues, check the HTML code of the templates for any changes and adjust your scripts.

 

Note: Box "batches" email notifications before sending them out. This means an email may not be sent immediately after an action occurs. When multiple actions are batched/grouped into a single notification, the subject of the email will have the title of the top-level folder. This does not apply to Password Reset emails or Email Confirmation links.

 

Once again, try generating a new link through https://app.box.com/reset

 

Hope it works! If the issue persist, please let us know!
