Webmail now working?


I understand there have been recent issues affecting the Webmail service, which according to the Service Status have now been fixed. However, when I try to access Webmail there still appears to be a problem (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage). I can access the portal, view my usage and obviously the forum, but not Webmail, so not simply a connection issue.

Re: Webmail now working?

I have been having problems with webmail since Friday. It's working but extremely slow. Like taking 5-10 minutes to open an email! Yesterday it was constantly disconnecting as well.
This is situation normal as far as my experience with Plusnet webmail goes. It's just something it does every so often and then suddenly goes OK again. Internet connection is fine, using my mail client at home it's fine, it's just webmail.

Same here with both email services. Squirrelmail even slower than usual and the new super-duper system not working at all despite the 'Loading . . .' message.

But that status report is under Portal
The email status is a big green tick  Angry
Why aren't the problems being reported under the appropriate section?

Because it's an absolute nightmare to manage once you've opened a thread under a certain category, the issues are all related to the same thing and it's very time consuming to keep multiple Status threads open alongside each other. Easiest thing to do is check the Usertools archive here, subscribe to the email/RSS feed or follow us on Twitter.
Anyway, are things much better following this work?

Re: Webmail now working?

I'm persevering with this thread as the title best represents the problems I've been experiencing.
I can now access my webmail account, but as others have reported it is very slow.
It also appears to automatically sign me out and re-directs me to the login page. This is on Squirrelmail, I haven't tried the new version.

Re: Webmail now working?

Still not working for me.
On RoundCube it takes ages to just get the logon screen displayed and then I get:
DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!
Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator.

I love all the exclamation marks - adds extra drama to the message don't you think?
Are you my server-administrator?

Re: Webmail now working?

We're about to carry out some more emergency maintenance so the platform will be down for fifteen minutes or so.

Re: Webmail now working?

The maintenance is complete and things look a lot snappier for me now (although to be fair they did initially last time). How's everybody else finding it?

Re: Webmail now working?

Hi Bob.
Things much better here now.  Log-ins on both fairly quick. All Inboxes present and correct. Some evidence of slow connecting when trying to get things done, "waiting for webmail or beta" probably held up by all of us trying to get on with the backlog of emails I guess. Let us hope that the fixes are now permanent!!
Thanks to all concerned.

POP3 access seems to have been maintained, so it's possible to import incoming mail into Gmail and get a back-up webmail access that way. Only works for incoming mail; for other folders something like Imapsize will copy folders across to Gmail.

Re: Webmail now working?


Managed to sign in without any problem this morning, in fact, seems to be much faster than of late.
Thanks for sorting it out, and for keeping us informed of progress.
