Email not working?

Waiting for an email from a website I've just registered with for a free Guest Book on my website.  When I send/receive I sometimes (but not always) get a request to enter my email ID and password.  Nothing arriving.  Also tried sending myself an email – nothing.  Service status says all OK.  Anyone else having problems?
Damn me!  The activation code email has just arrived...but not my own to myself.
What's up? Huh
PS hope this is the right place to post re email problems.  Doesn't seem to be anywhere else appropriate since the re-jig of threads on the Community. Undecided

Re: Just reported e-mail down

There's another thread started on same subject. Maybe a Mod can merge.
Noticed there's a service status up now. Smiley

It won't let me in and tells me to set a new password.

Re: Email not working?

Just checked - webmail OK but Outlook could flagged up a password request on one mailbox only - others were OK

Re: Email not working?

Actually, I've noticed over the last week or so that random mail boxes would be requested for their passwords. Using Outlook 2007.
It's inconvenient but never thought it could be a problem PN's end - just thought it was a quirk with Outlook  Roll_eyes

Re: Email not working?

Just found creating new mailboxes maybe borked at the moment.
I created one called 'iphonetest' and trying to log in via webmail tells me "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server."

Is it working now, and did you allow 30 minutes for it to be setup before trying to login to Webmail?

Re: Email not working?

I've managed to replicate the problem here so I'll get it raised internally (ref:56399). In the meantime, send an email to the new mailbox and that should sort it out.
