Hello everyone,
I recently created a new user at the workspace community, but this user haven’t received the activation email (invite) to complete the setup. I’ve checked the spam/junk folders and tried resending the activation email multiple times, but still no luck.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Verified that I entered the correct email address.
- Checked spam/junk folders for the email.
- Waited for a few hours and requested the activation email again.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any additional steps I could try, or perhaps specific email settings that might affect receiving the email?
Thanks you!
Hello @felipespecht
Is the issue related to this very email address only? Have you tried to create a new user (different email address) and check if the issue reproduces there?
Additionally, please point me to the guide that you used for the Workspace installation and let us know its modules versions (Community server, Control Panel, etc.).
Hey Alexandre
No, I’ve tried with two email adresses from two different domains, but the issue was not resolved.
I will not be able to get the additional information at this time.
We need the requested information, and we need to take a look at the logs (when the situation has been reproduced) of the Community server to figure out the situation. Please provide us with them. They’re located here:
Windows: \Program Files (x86)\Ascensio System SIA\CommunityServer\Logs
docker: /app/onlyoffice/CommunityServer/logs/
packages: /var/log/onlyoffice/
Hello Alexandre! I have the same issue as felipespecht.
When I try to send a confirmation message, the following error appears in the /var/log/onlyoffice/svcNotify.log:

Hello @nicolas.a.grandin
Is this your SMTP server address?
2025-09-25 14:07:27,966 ERROR [83] ASC.Notify - Tenant: 1, To: nicolas.grandin.perea@pm.me - System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): Une tentative de connexion a échoué car le parti connecté n’a pas répondu convenablement au-delà d’une certaine durée ou une connexion établie a échoué car l’hôte de connexion n’a pas répondu 52.10.60.225:25
Please go to the portal > settings > SMTP settings > please show us your settings and click ‘Send test mail’. Does the test mail arrive?
Good evening @Alexandre ,
Sorry for the late answer.
I’m sorry, I don’t know what is my SMTP server adress.
I uninstalled and then tried to reinstall WorkSpace but now I face new issues that prevent me to finish the installation :
What am I missing ? I tried several time, by deactivating the firewall and/or the antivirus, with admin rights.
I even used CCleaner to erased the previous installation remains
Hello @nicolas.a.grandin
Sorry for the late reply. It seems the issue is related to ‘guest’ user creation. It should be ‘onlyoffice’.
Probably, there’s a way, please try this:
Go to PowerShell and add user manually. It should be something like that:
Write-Host "Creating user 'onlyoffice'…"& "$rabbitPath\rabbitmqctl.bat" add_user onlyoffice onlyoffice& "$rabbitPath\rabbitmqctl.bat" set_permissions -p / onlyoffice "." "." ".*"& "$rabbitPath\rabbitmqctl.bat" set_user_tags onlyoffice administrator
Just in case, restart entire server and make sure that RabbitMQ service is running in Windows Services.
After that try the Workspace installation again. It should resolve the situation.
By the way, what is your exact OS version?
