Archived Email Urgent Issue

I am having a bit of a nightmare with my Wife's Emails that Plusnet decided to Archive, and the terrible process they use.  Last week my wife noticed all her Emails and Folders had disappeared from her Phone and Laptop.  I contacted Plusnet to be informed that they had been Archived due to the size of our Email account.  I questioned why and did they try an contact me or her. They said that they had sent 4 Email warnings but we did not reply.  When I asked what Email the sent it to the told me it was my main contact Email on my account. It turns out that is not one of the Plusnet ones that I use but an old works Email that is no longer in use.  This is the craziest thing I have heard in many a year , not even try and contact us useing our Plusnet  Email address.  We need this back urgently so we can review and archive, so far its been a week and no proper response from PN.   I am a long time user of the service and this is the worst thing they have done ever. Please can someone from Plusnet help get these back please.

Re: Archived Email Urgent Issue

Hi there.

I'm very sorry to hear your wife's mailbox has been archived.

Unfortunately we weren't aware that the contact e-mail address on your account is no longer in use. I'd recommend updating this via the Member Centre at https://www.plus.net/my.html?action=edit_details&s=0

I've now raised a task with our e-mail team now to return your mail back to her.

This should be within the next 1-3 working days. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Re: Archived Email Urgent Issue

Hi I believe the same thing may have happened to my mum. We have had a force9 email account for years and no problems but yesterday my Mum told me all her messages had vanished without any warning or explanation.

I logged in to check and her inbox has just messages from only a week or so ago. She is extremely distraught as there were many very important messages to her that have vanished ( I think she said a few hundred messages).

Can these messages be recovered/put pack to her inbox?? So that I can back them up for her.

Her mailbox email address is [Removed].

Please, please help if you can like I say my Mum is really really upset about this.

Kind regards,
Richard.

Hi Richard,

 

Thanks for getting in touch.

 

I've tried to search against that email address but can't seem to locate an account. This isn't anything to worry about (its probably just the search facility being awkward) and we'll likely have more success searching via the postcode/landline/account username.

 

Could you drop me a PM with those details and we'll go from there?

 

Best wishes,

 

Dave

Hi @rback I'm sorry to see the un-archive request that Dave raised hasn't been picked up yet.

I've escalated this internally and we'll get this sorted as soon as possible.

Re: Archived Email Urgent Issue

Can you please unarchive my email as soon as possible. I have tried to cut down the size - but unfortunately your webmail was very unreliable over the last week so could not access my email via webmail. I will try again but please restore our urgent emails.

Re: Archived Email Urgent Issue

Ticket No:- 178673104

 

WIll you please let me know when my mailbox will be restored.

I go 9Mb over the limit & the WHOLE mailbox gets archived, just after 7am this morning.

I use IMAP thinking it'll be safe being on your email servers clearly this is not the case!

It's really important that my mailbox gets restored urgently as I have 17 Years of important emails & I don't want to loose them.

The speed of Plusnet Webmail is poor & unrealiable which is taking me a long time to go through all my emails to reduce the size of the mailbox.

 

Regards

 

Mr Nathan Keel.

Re: Archived Email Urgent Issue

When you have your emails back have a look at http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/ which includes an option to completely backup IMAP mailboxes including all sub folders.
