Anyone Having Issues With POP3 via mail.plus.net ?

mikeb — Sat, 27 Aug 2022 05:54:26 GMT

Following a forced reboot at somewhere around 0230 hours, it would appear that I can no longer access mail.plus.net at all and haven't been able to for around a couple of hours. Several different A/Cs same result. All attempts are now either ignored or refused i.e. just a timeout or result in a "connection closed unexpectedly by server" error message. No ultimate change in gateway apparently occurred it was simply a rather suspicious looking maintenance period reboot/reconnection together with the inevitable drop in synch speeds that almost always accompanies such unexpected events.

Access to mail.force9.net (and servers elsewhere) appears to be working just fine ... famous last words and all that

I've just turned my computer on and I'm unable to get my Plusnet emails. Emails on other accounts are coming in fine. I'm getting a login to server failed error.

Paul.

Me too.

Logged on as normal but can't get my mail.

But the service status says "No problems"

Thankfully the internet is connected.

Small mercies!

Yes, looks like the mail servers are having problems

Thanks for the responses confirming it wasn't just me. Access to mail.force9.net was apparently intermittent and was subsequently lost completely as well. However, the issue seemed to have resolved itself here by mid morning. No reboot or any changes whatsoever at this end, everything simply started working again as if by magic. I just wanted to ensure that I wasn't going to get back to the 'joys' of a long weekend mail outage for whatever reason ! Fortunately I didn't and all is well

A bit strange but hopefully only a network hiccup or overrunning maintenance somewhere rather than a sign of things to come !
