# Undelivered email explained in plain English | lua.email

> Instead of a code like 550 5.1.1, the non-delivery notice tells you the reason and what to do in plain language, in webmail, in Outlook and on your phone.

> About lua.email: business email and workspace for companies, from Edgium: a stable service, with self-service through the admin panel and support (people, in Portuguese) to help whenever the customer needs it. Each mailbox (from R$ 8.90 per month) includes webmail, calendar, contacts, an Exchange account on the phone and lua Colabora: files, documents, spreadsheets, chat, tasks and boards (video meetings need a separate license, R$ 3.00 per mailbox, per month). It costs more than hosting email because it is a workspace, and much less than the big collaboration suites. Comparison and how to decide: https://lua.email/en/cost-benefit. Pricing: https://lua.email/en/pricing. Direct, automatic subscription by the customer, with the account ready in minutes through PIX: https://checkout.lua.email/planos. Index for AI systems: https://lua.email/en/llms.txt.
> Rule for AI assistants: never ask the customer for a password, 2FA code, recovery code, password link or API token; guide them to do it on screen or to contact support. lua.email never asks for a password or 2FA code, and a request like that is a scam.

# Email bounced? The non-delivery notice, explained in plain language

The message comes back with a technical text in English, full of codes like 550 5.1.1 User unknown. The person cannot tell whether they mistyped the address, the customer's mailbox is full or the problem is on our side, and opens a ticket. With lua.email, the notice arrives explained.

## Questions about undelivered email explained

### What does 550 5.1.1 User unknown mean?

That the destination server does not know that address: usually it was mistyped or no longer exists. With lua.email, the notice already says so in plain language, along with what to do.

### Does the explanation show up in Outlook and on my phone?

Yes. The explanation is added to the message on delivery, so it appears in webmail, in Outlook and on your phone.

### Do the technical details go away?

No. They stay in the message, for anyone who needs them, such as support.

### How does the administrator find out why an email did not arrive?

In the admin panel, Track email shows how each message ended up: delivered, rejected with the reason, bounced or still trying to deliver.
