E-mail problems again (2011-04-26)

Is anybody else having problems with passwords being rejected on POP3 and IMAP? It seems worse on POP3 at the moment.

Best to wait a while and try again.  These faults are usually temporary unless you start entering passwords and end up with the wrong one.

Thanks.  I am experiencing the same problem as 'stathe' so it is reassuring to know it is a known temporary problem.

Should be fixed all, by the time we'd got the details and prepared a service status it had already been fixed.
