POP3 problems

[#1]

Is anybody else having intermittent problems accessing the POP3 servers this morning?

[#2]

I haven't tried POP3 but I am having problems using WebMail.
4 out of 5 requests come back with "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server."

Hi there,
We've received a couple of reports elsewhere too, our networks team are investigating now (ref 61772).

Thanks.

I've just posted this to our Service Status feed:
[quote author="Service Status"]Email collection problems (61772) - NEW
We are currently investigating a problem affecting customers' ability to collect or access their email. Attempting to do so may return 'connection dropped', 'temporary error' messages or result in repeated requests for your password.
We would like to apologise for the inconvenience and will provide another update shortly.

Was caused by some memory reallocation work we did this morning. We've disabled the affected mail collection server for the time being whilst we carry on looking into things.
For all intents and purposes you can now consider the problem to be fixed!
The Service Status thread will be updated shortly.

I have been having problems since about 21:00 on 25th October.

There is a delay accessing the server
