Re: Email down

Hi @HaresEar, thanks for your post.

 

On checking the account, I can't see any reason as to why you'd be experiencing issues  in getting logged on to webmail.

 

To confirm, is it webmail.plus.net that you're having difficulty with? Are you able to access your emails via your email clients?

Re: Email down

I have also not been able to access emails, error message is: unable to access the imap mail server.... this is the same if I use mobile phone mail app or using the webmail service.... service status indicates all is well, but maybe not?

Re: Email down

Hi @bellaf, thanks for your post.

 

Can you confirm what your incoming and outgoing servers are currently set to?

 

For reference, if you're using IMAP, your incoming server should be imap.plus.net with the outgoing server being relay.plus.net.

Re: Email down

Hi Owen, yes, that’s the correct mail config... it hasn’t changed on my phone, sported the last mail update was this morning at 9:36. I have also tried accessing the webmail service, but that also reports an error when logging in about the imap service being unavailable...

Hi @bellaf, thanks for your response.

 

On checking, we're having no such issue when trying to log in to our own webmail accounts - which is strange considering at least 2 of you are experiencing this issue.

 

I've refreshed the mailbox component on your account - are you now able to log in?

Re: Email down

Hi @OskarPapa.  I'm also having difficulty with email: since a few hours ago, completely out of the blue, I've had a problem logging on to my mail.plus.net account.  I'm using Windows Mail under Windows 7 on a desktop PC with a fibre connection and getting a Windows Security popup asking me to verify my username and password. 

Entering what I know to be the correct details in the empty boxes doesn't work: the verification demand simply comes up again.

This connection was working perfectly just a few minutes prior to this happening and nothing has changed with my setup. 

Any suggestions will be gratefully received!  Many thanks.

Hi @BertCoules,

 

I'm sorry to hear that it's not allowing you to login to your emails via Windows Live Mail. So that we can determine whether this issue lies with the email credentials or with the mail client, please can you try logging in to webmail here and let us know whether or not it allows you to login?

Re: Email down

@EmilyD, thanks for your reply.  Yes, I was able to login to Webmail with no problems.  I'll check Windows Mail again...

EDITED TO ADD:

...and now it's working perfectly once more.  I've made no changes to the setup so I've no idea what might have gone wrong.
