Re: Email not connecting to server.... AGAIN

Have I got lucky or is it fixed? Just picked up all my emails!

Hi, 

Yeah, it should be back up and working for all as of just before 17:00.   We put a temporary fix in place just before lunch for people on their home Broadband connections.

 

Sorry for the problems today.

@Kelly

Are you able to give us some idea of what the problem is? Sounds like it's not permanently fixed? I'm mainly interested in why replacing mail.plus.net with a specific IP address works.

@Kelly That 'temporary fix' was only partially successful - sometimes it checked all my accounts, sometimes 2 or 3, but as none of my mail was important, as checked via webmail, I didn't panic. Glad to see it now appears to to be fixed.Thumbs_Up

@jab1 Ah!  We had a suspicion that the work around might not be 100% effective.  We'll have a look tomorrow at if we can see why.  Glad it's working for you now.
