How to fix Mail.de not working
Mail.de is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach mail.de over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the Mail.de status page
Open the official status page first and see whether problem reports are running above their normal level. If the login form hangs and the inbox stays empty in a second browser, the trouble sits on their side, so nothing on your machine needs changing.
Sign out of webmail and back in
Sign out of the webmail or the app, close the tab, and sign back in. A stale session drops you at the login screen even though your details are correct, and a fresh sign-in clears it in seconds.
Re-enter the saved password in your mail app
A stored password in Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Windows Mail can go stale, so delete it and type it again. Stale logins break sends. If it still fails, check the outgoing server is set to SMTP with authentication on, because a changed password leaves the old one stored.
Clear the app cache, then reinstall
On Android, go to Settings, Apps, pick the mail app, then Storage, and tap Clear cache. That clears a frozen or blank inbox without touching your account. If the app still will not open, uninstall it and install it again from the store.
While Mail.de is down: what to use instead
- Gmail Use Gmail to send and receive messages while the Mail.de service is unavailable.
- Microsoft Outlook Use Outlook for email access if you already have a Microsoft account.
- Proton Mail Use Proton Mail when you need a separate mailbox for messages during the outage.
- Yahoo Mail Use Yahoo Mail to handle routine email until Mail.de works again.

What happens when Mail.de goes down
Mail.de is a German email service with webmail, mobile apps, IMAP access, and SMTP sending for personal and business accounts, and you may use it as your main inbox. An outage interrupts login, sending, receiving, and syncing.
Webmail login often fails first, with the page hanging on a blank screen or returning an error after you enter your details. The mobile app cannot sync. Mail sent through IMAP or SMTP gets stuck in the outbox, incoming messages do not arrive, folders do not refresh, and the app keeps showing an old inbox. Problems tend to be partial or regional, because one data center, one DNS route, one ISP path, or one mail server can fail while other accounts keep working; the status here reflects user problem reports above their normal level rather than a ping from this site, so a modest spike can still mean a real outage for you.

How we track Mail.de
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Mail.de, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Mail.de, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Mail.de's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
