email retrieval ???

[#1]

I am having problems connecting to mail.plus.net pop3 server, recieving timout and failed to respond errors.
prior to this it was very laggy trying to authourise.
anyone else seeing his ?

Yep, timeouts have been noticed here. Bob is writing a service status as I type this.

So it's not just me - webmail had the same problem

Does this apply to imap connections too?
My pop3 connection to one pn address seems to be fine but ...
My imap connection to a different pn address won't connect.  I get headers appearing in Outlook but can't download contents.

Yes, it's affecting IMAP too.
