Useless service and systems

I have tried numerous times to get hold of customer support with no luck.

WhatsApp line still hasn’t gotten back to me and the App is as useless.

Our inboxes are filling up with spam. What has happened to your spam filters?

I am blocking senders on a daily basis.

Fix your issues Mweb!!!

Morning  Michael. 
Thank you for raising this with us. We understand how frustrating it is not to be able to reach support, especially while dealing with an increase in spam emails. This is certainly not the experience we want for you. Our team is available to assist, and we’d like to help get both your support query and mailbox concerns resolved as quickly as possible. Please send us a direct message with your account details so we can prioritise this for you and ensure you receive the support you need. Regarding the spam issue, there have been recent improvements to our filtering system. The spam monitoring system now learns from how emails are managed in your mailbox. To help improve detection going forward: 
  •  Please move unwanted emails to your Junk folder instead of deleting them. This helps the system recognise and filter similar messages more effectively 
  •  Continue blocking obvious spam senders where needed 
As an added precaution, if you’ve entered your details on any suspicious websites linked in those emails, we strongly recommend updating your email password immediately to keep your account secure We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to getting this resolved for you promptly. 
Kind regards,
The Mweb Team 

Best regards,

Your team is clearly too busy to assist as, like I said, I still have not received a response from Mweb. We have the App and WhatsApp number which do not respond. You need to sort out your systems. The customer service is terrible!

If you care to respond, my account number is ***

Hi Michael, thank you for your message and for sharing your concerns. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when support channels aren’t responding, especially while dealing with mailbox issues. To help us get a clearer picture, could you please confirm if you’ve had the chance to: 
  •  Move unwanted emails to your Junk folder instead of deleting them, and 
  •  Block any obvious spam senders? 
These steps help our system learn and filter similar messages more effectively. If you’ve already tried these, we’ll take note and look at alternative ways to assist you further with your mailbox. Kind regards,
The Mweb Team 

Best regards,

Please access my mailbox and review the amount of 'junk' that I have moved there in the last couple of days. I have also blocked the senders. For more information, please contact me directly.

On Wednesday the the of April 2026 I had a need to speak to Technical Support.

I called the support line and waited for over 40 minutes with no response. I tried the WhatsApp chat and waited over 4 hours - still no response to date and I tried the App and am still waiting for a response.

You really need to sort out these issues! The service response times are totally unacceptable!!!

Social media seems to be showing the same issues!!!

A ZERO for customer support!!!

Please don't respond with some stupid 'generic' type of response! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

This does STILL not resolve the issue.

How are we supposed to get hold of tech support in the future? Give me a direct line to a technician so that I do not have to wait hours for service.

I tried to get hold of Mweb on the web chat on my account and waited over an hour with NO RESPONSE. I see that NOTHING has changed!!!

I have been blocking junk mail every day for the last month but today it got bad. I had more than 30 spam emails.

Block this ****! If I need to do this then why am I paying Mweb? For what?

Hi Michael,
We understand how frustrating it is to keep dealing with large volumes of spam while also struggling to get assistance when you need it.

Our team is actively working to strengthen spam controls; however, spammers are constantly changing and evolving their methods, which can sometimes allow unwanted emails to bypass standard filters.  In the meantime, there are a few steps that may help improve how your mailbox handles these messages:

Check content filtering rules
  • Log in to Mweb Webmail
  • Go to More → Settings → Content Filtering
  • Remove any filters that may be incorrectly allowing emails through

Add to blocked senders list
  • Go to Settings → Spam Filtering
  • Add the relevant domains or email addresses under Blocked Senders
  • Save your changes

Improve spam filtering behaviour
  • Move spam emails to your Junk folder instead of deleting them, as this helps improve filtering accuracy over time

You can also make use of the Antispam Cloud settings to:
  • View quarantined emails
  • Release blocked messages
  • Add whitelist or blacklist entries
  • Review filter logs

    Antispam Cloud link: 
    https://help.mweb.co.za/articles/mail/antispam-cloud/how-to-access-and-manage-your-spam-settings-on-antispam-cloud

If the issue continues after applying these steps, we recommend reaching out to our Abuse & Security Team at ***, including screenshots of the spam, so they can investigate further and provide direct feedback.
Should you require any further assistance, feel free to send us a direct message and we’ll gladly assist further.

Kind regards,
