You can contact Runbox Support in the following ways.

Email

If you send an email to support@runbox.com you will get an automated reply that indicates a support ticket has been created.

Notes:

  • You must email us from your Runbox account or the alternative email address that we have registered on your account. If you do not use either of these addresses we will not be able to offer any account specific support until we have verified you are the owner of the account. This can lead to delays in resolving your issue.
  • If you don’t have an alternative email address, you may register a piece of unique information only you would know with Runbox support, and at our sole discretion we may use this to decide if we are talking to the account owner. This is not as secure as an alternative email address, and depending on the circumstances we may decide not to validate you using this method.
  • If you have never emailed us before, then an account will be created in our support system for you and the details will be emailed to you. You can then log in at the support centre and see your messages and our replies and also submit new messages to us when you need to.
  • Support issues are called “tickets”, so when you see this word used you will know the system is referring to an individual question or issue you have brought to our attention.

Web

You can register with our support center at any time by going to https://support.runbox.com This will let you submit questions and issues to us at any time, and see a record of your current and past messages to and from us.

Notes:

  • You cannot log in to the support centre with your Runbox email address and password as our email accounts and support centre are entirely different systems. You will need to specifically register with the support centre.
  • Please register using your Runbox email address or the alternative email address we hold on record for you. If you do not use either of these addresses we will not be able to offer any account specific support until we have verified you are the owner of the account. This can lead to delays in resolving your issue.

Troubleshooting inquiries concerning email content

Under normal circumstances Runbox will not access the email contents of your account.

If we think we need to access your messages to help with a problem we will ask your permission first.
