Scott Woolstenhulme 2 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I have tried multiple times to access the Help Site to contact Evernote Support, but always get the following message: "Unexpected error. Our server has experienced difficulties processing your request(/SupportLogin.action) You may need to Sign in to your account to access this page." I have cleared cookies and tried multiple browsers and devices with the same error message. I have also switched between my personal and Teams accounts all with the same result. I get the same error when I try to connect my Postach.io account to a notebook in Evernote. Not having a way to directly communicate with Evernote Support team to resolve this issue is extremely frustrating. Paying for a subscription service and having no way to contact support is unacceptable. Link to comment

Actually I believe the subscription is meant to cover things like software and storage and web access - but I agree, access to Support is also good. As (apparently) a Teams user, you should have an in-house manager for your account, who will have access to the business support unit. If you're dealing with your individual personal account then you should be able to see a 'continue as a guest' option as well as the log-in link. Whilst I appreciate you were looking for the 'official' support team, we can often be a good second option - can you give us some details of *why* you were so keen to get in touch? Link to comment
Scott Woolstenhulme 2 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 I am the manager for our Teams account and still did not see a way to access support. As I wrote, I tried to connect to an Evernote notebook from Postach.io and receive the error message above. I then tried to contact the Support desk, which I should have access to from a paid service--and which is heavily advertised as a reason for the upgraded account--and received the exact same message. So something is happening with my account that will not let me connect from Postach.io which otherwise works perfectly or to access the Help Desk. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,072 Posted August 9, 2022 Level 5* Share Posted August 9, 2022 If your concern is that Postach.io will not link to your Evernote account, were you linking it to the Teams account or to your personal Evernote database? I'm not sure that Postach.io would be able to link to the Teams account - user access (I believe) is subject to suitable authority being provided by the admin. I'm using a Postach.io connection on a was-premium / now professional account. Access problems with a business account might be down to local security - firewall or anti-virus blocking.

Scott Woolstenhulme 2 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 My overall concern was simply the error message that I received. But I was trying to connect it to my Teams account. I already have two notebooks from my Teams account linked with Postach.io. That may still be the problem; I just don't understand why I am getting the same error message for both Postach.io and the Evernote Support site. Link to comment
Scott Woolstenhulme 2 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I appreciate the suggestions regarding Postach.io but my more fundamental concern is that I have absolutely no way of contacting support. There is no phone number to call and no chat desk to reah without logging in, and every time I try, I get this error. Is there honestly no other way to access the Help Desk? Again, this is advertised as a key feature of upgraded paid accounts that is not accessible because of an error message. Link to comment

I 100% agree that support is a key component of a paid subscription, and particularly with a teams subscription. One suggestion: have you tried accessing the support page via a different network (such as a mobile network on your phone, be sure to disable WiFi first)? If all else fails, I would contact them on Twitter @evernotehelps Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,072 Posted August 10, 2022 Level 5* Share Posted August 10, 2022 The Forum isn't a route to Support - we're mainly all users here; but we do have an employee as the Forum Admin so I've reported this thread to see whether they can be of any assistance. As you already know, the route to Support is via Contact https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new - if you have problems with that, use 'account' from the drop-down options as an issue type, or use the help/ feedback link from one of the mobile apps. As @Paul A. suggested, there's also https://twitter.com/evernotehelps - and, if all else fails, the Support page has a 'guest' option to logging in - like Elon says: just read the instructions!

Scott Woolstenhulme 2 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Thank you. I’m just out of other options. I saw a similar thread on this issue, but the recommended fixes on that thread did not resolve the issue. Link to comment

Scott Woolstenhulme 2 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was able to have another individual in our Teams account contact support through his account. Thank you both for your help. 2 Link to comment
