Email down?

Glenn · Oct 06, 2007, 08:10:31

Anyone having problems collecting their email today, Outlook is unable to connect to my accounts? I can't connect via webmail either.

Gary · Oct 06, 2007, 08:14:52

Same here, my pop email is down and same with webmail

Appears to be a problem with .com addresses, .co.uk IDNet addresses seem ok (at least from here) ...

Probably just a server issue again, happened a few weeks ago on a Saturday as well

got fixed very quickly

Jillian · Oct 06, 2007, 08:57:49

No mail here either.

Phil123 · Oct 06, 2007, 09:02:50

I'm having problems receiving, can't send either SMTP server seems to be down as well.

colirv · Oct 06, 2007, 09:11:55

I can't send or receive.

Ann · Oct 06, 2007, 09:19:13

Yup.. down here too but nothing said on the status page which is a shame... $:-\$

I have contacted Simon at IDNEt awaiting a reply. I don't expect the problem to last for long.

Simon_idnet · Oct 06, 2007, 09:30:57

We've got an engineer en-route to look at Trevor the mail server.

cavillas · Oct 06, 2007, 09:32:40

Many thanks Simon.

Rik · Oct 06, 2007, 09:33:30

I just want to know who comes up with the names.

Simon_idnet · Oct 06, 2007, 09:37:36

The idnet.net server is Pat, naturally.

Rik · Oct 06, 2007, 09:40:04

So, you've got that off Pat, then?

Not sure that saying "Trevor has gone down" sounds good Simon

cavillas · Oct 06, 2007, 09:44:46

The degeneration of this thread has started early.

Good ain't it.

Is Pat feminine? If so are Pat and Trevor in a relationship, or just good friends? Or are they in a relationship anyway?

Bodes well for the rest of the day

Noreen · Oct 06, 2007, 09:58:28

Is there some sort of "law" that makes this sort of thing always happen at the weekend?

Glenn · Oct 06, 2007, 09:59:07

Trevor, not a good name, just look how reliable cars called Trevor are - TVR

Rik · Oct 06, 2007, 10:00:40

Yes, it's called "The there's no-one in the office" law, Noreen. I suspect that normally, any server issues are sorted before we've had time to notice.

Ann · Oct 06, 2007, 11:03:12

11 o'clock and still not working. If they're not careful I shall have to go and do something productive instead and that'll be a shock to the system.

Rik · Oct 06, 2007, 11:06:20

I haven't heard any updates, Ann.

Yes. Sod's.

Mervyn · Oct 06, 2007, 12:03:55

It is now 12 noon and my email is still DOWN. Never been let down by Idnet before! Would be weekend wouldn't it. No doubt someone is trying hard.

Gary · Oct 06, 2007, 12:06:52

If they have sent a tech down to the server they will be working as hard as they can to get it working I'm sure, but glitches happen and as Simon said it's Sods law it happens at the weekend. That's why its good to have multiple email addresses for times like this
