Is Web.de down right now?
Most users can open and use Web.de as usual right now. The live Web.de status above comes from user reports. A fast rise in Web.de down reports tells us the fault is on the service side.
Reports on this page name mail access first. IMAP will not connect in Outlook, VPN logins force password changes, or the MailCheck add-on fails. A browser not supported note follows close behind.
Is Web.de down for me or everyone?
Sign in on web.de in a browser if a program fails. If the web login works, the fault sits in the program or add-on. If many users report dead mail at once, a wider Web.de outage is likely. A two minute check answers the is Web.de down for me question.
Why does IMAP fail in Outlook and other mail apps?
Web.de mailboxes need IMAP access switched on before outside programs can connect. Without that step, Outlook setup fails though the password is right. The switch sits in the mailbox settings on the website.
Some programs also hide the manual setup path for Web.de addresses. Automatic setup then loops with no place to type the server data. A manual account with typed server names gets past that wall.
VPN logins and forced password changes
Web.de treats logins through a VPN as suspect activity. Users then must change the password again and again. The account is fine, but each VPN login reads as a stranger at the door.
The browser not supported note in Firefox
The MailCheck add-on flags even a current Firefox as not supported. Mail access through the add-on then stops dead. The same accounts work in Chrome or Brave, and a second PC with the same Firefox build can work too.
MailCheck popups that stop after an update
After a browser update, the new mail popups stop for some users. The add-on icon also goes missing from the toolbar for others. A few users land in cloud storage after login instead of the inbox.
Common Web.de Problems and Fixes
Most Web.de mail faults clear with account and browser checks. These fixes solve most cases, so start there.
IMAP will not connect in Outlook
Sign in on the website and switch IMAP access on in mailbox settings. Then add the account by hand with typed server names. Auto setup alone loops for many users.
Password change forced again and again
Log in without the VPN and see if the prompts stop. VPN addresses read as suspect activity. A home login with no VPN should stay calm.
Browser not supported note in Firefox
Test the same login in Chrome or Brave. If it works there, the add-on build is at fault. Reinstall MailCheck from the add-on store.
MailCheck icon missing from the toolbar
Open the add-on list and pin MailCheck to the toolbar. After browser updates, pins can drop. If the icon stays gone, reinstall the add-on.
Login lands in cloud storage, not the inbox
Use the mail link on the portal start page after login. Set your start page to the inbox in settings. The add-on shortcut should then open mail first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Web.de keep asking for a new password?
Logins through a VPN look like suspect activity to the service. Each one can force a fresh password change. Log in from your home line to test the account.
How do I switch on IMAP for Web.de?
Sign in on the website and open the mailbox settings. Switch IMAP access on there. Mail programs like Outlook can then connect with your normal password.
Is Web.de down when MailCheck shows no icon?
No. A missing icon is an add-on or browser fault. Pin the add-on again or reinstall it. The mailbox itself keeps working on the site.
Does Web.de work with a VPN?
The mailbox opens, but logins through a VPN read as suspect. Forced password changes follow for many users. A direct home login avoids the loop.
Can I open the inbox straight from MailCheck?
The add-on should land in the inbox, but some users end up in cloud storage. Set the inbox as your start page in settings. The shortcut then opens mail.
When does the unsupported browser note appear?
It shows in the MailCheck add-on, even on a current Firefox. Other browsers work with the same account. Reinstall the add-on or switch browser to get past it.
