email problems

Is it just me, or is the mail service down? My email address is, for historical reasons, a globalnet one but it's delivered (or not, currently) by Plusnet (following their swallowing-up of first globalnet, then madasafish).

@billswan It is still working - for Plusnet addresses, anyway. What's your problem?

Probably a full mailbox. The legacy brands only have 250MB of storage.

I rebooted everything - router factory re-set, power off, on, PC shutdown, full power off then full start-up. And it's now working fine.

I'm sorry to have troubled you - I have no idea what the problem was. I use MS:Outlook client for my email (not webmail) so all messages are downloaded, and not stored on and clogging up a Plusnet server.

Thank you.

Is the outlook client configured as POP3?

If you access the mailbox using webmail, what does it find in the mailbox?
