Re: Problem connecting to email server

My webmail not working either. After being able to read it this morning it dumped me out and won't let me back in.
Advanced webmail has now started throwing a captcha at me on login, which it didn't do before. When I fill this in correctly I still can't get access.
Basic webmail throws up the good old "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server".

Me too: on several different POP3 mailboxes, getting:
"An operation on the server timed out." OR "Login failed" OR "Entourage cannot find the server."

Re: Problem connecting to email server

Apologies folks, I've just published a couple of service status posts. The mail collection servers have gotten themselves into a bit of a muddle and it's locked up the mail storage platform. We were a little late to notice due to some work we were carrying out on the monitoring platform this morning Sad
