I had a request from Outlook for login details about 10 minutes ago but it all seems ok now.

Re: Email server problem?

Some of the mail servers are under pretty heavy load. Our engineers are looking into it ...

Re: Email server problem?

Should be alright now:

This is an update to this afternoon's post about the intermittent problems some customers may have been experiencing collecting their email and accessing our Webmail service.
Our engineers have carried out some remedial maintenance and normal service has been resumed.

Re: Email server problem?

I can't login to webmail at all. Keep getting "Connection to IMAP server failed" or "Login failed".
Also yesterday when I was logged in it kept logging me out after a few minutes.

Re: Email server problem?

Also a CAPTCHA box has suddenly appeared on the login page - never seen that before (I'm not on a plusnet connection).

Re: Email server problem?

That should happen Peter if your IP address is recognised as non-UK.
