Mail issues

[Gary]

Anyone else having pop3 issues with idnet mail servers? "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity"

It was all working fine this morning?

Might be something up because I literally posted a minute before you complaining of email issues:

  Always the way, guess its a server glitch possibly, anyone else having issues?

[Rik]

No problems here, but there were some reported at TB this morning, so IDNet were checking.

UPDATE

They are re-starting the grey-listing servers to clear some spam out of the way. It seems to be an issue mainly affecting people accessing their mail through a non-IDNet connection.

[Gary]

Cheers Rik, I may give IDNet a call if it does not sort itself out, just called should be up and working within the next ten/fifteen minutes

[Rik]

See my edit, Gary.

[Gary]

Your to fast for me Rik, would explain things as my mail is hosted and I'm with another provider

[Pez]

Doesn't explain me I'm with IDNet and I'm trying to acces my IDNet Email 

[Gary]

Give it 10-15 mins and all should be well

[Rik]

Doesn't explain me I'm with IDNet and I'm trying to acces my IDNet Email 

But via the web interface? It should all be fine shortly.

I'm getting this error message when trying to use Outlook Express. My email address ends @idnet.com

The server responded with an error. Account: 'POP3.idnet.com', Server: 'pop3.idnet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

Doesn't mean a thing to me. Is something wrong at my end or at IDNet's?

Thanks,

I didn't think to login and check!!   

[Jillian]

Same problems for me too, and rain has stopped play at Wimbledon!

Not my day, but thanks for keeping us informed Rik and IDnet.

What I want to know is who named the mail server Trevor?

[Rik]

I blame Simon. The idnet.co.uk server is Pat, Delilah died...

[Danni]

Awww...

"Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white cat..."

[Rik]

 

Maybe, just maybe.

[Danni]

My computers are called Matilda (main PC, one I'm on now), Luciana (old laptop) and Annika (new laptop).

I've yet to name the really old computer that's upstairs in a box.

[Rik]

I'm more prosaic. This is Beanmain, the otherdesktop is Beandesk, and the lappy is Beanbook.

[Glenn]

Just a quick question, are incoming emails being stored somewhere or are they being rejected? I only ask as I'm waiting an email from my consultant, who should be emailing me his findings of the MRI scan I had yesterday.

[Rik]

There may be some data loss, Glenn, unfortunately until the server finishes re-building, Simon can't get at the logs.

[Gary]

I'm in a similar situation waiting for some important mail, I'm sure they will do their very best though to save as much as possible

Same here, a poster design I did for a client went to the printers this morning, so I'm waiting for an email to say everything went through all ok, without a problem!
