Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

I beg to differ, the E-mail is flagged with a red ball on the server status page from 14may :(

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

Yeas it's working but very haphazardly.I know this because I keep getting email notifications from here all out of order. :rolleyes:

Incog.

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

apologies let me be a little more precise in what i meant. there are no issues sending emails on SMTP at the moment although POP3 is still intermitent with server timouts

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

Let you off then. :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

I think its called "attempting to upgrade the service so it works better" :D

I think they should upgrade the senior management at the same time as well, get rid of all the money grabbers and put people in place who care. :)

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

hee hee - didn't check really - but as i recalled the problems were pop3 :D

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

threadbare I doubt ntl not announcing a problem means the service is fine, my email hasnt worked since I signed up 9 months ago.

On average I would guess 33-50% authentication attempts fail when downloading emails
Average 2 days for emails to get to me
Average 5 days for emails to arrive elsewhere when I send
Never successfully sent an attachment

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

Apart from the national outages which occasionally affect me - my e-mail works fine.

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

my email has been the pits all afternoon i blame the government :D

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

Came home and found my little pink Spampal brolly swizzling because it was stuck trying to authenticate with the POP server and The Bat was reporting a broken connection (to Spampal) :rolleyes: The funny thing is that email worked fine during the time the status page said there were problems :D

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

ntl e-mail has been iffy for the last two or three weeks down here in Portsmouth.

Sometimes it times out or can't access the mail server when downloading messages and uploading often takes *ages* or requires multiple attempts :(

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

I was getting timeouts on Friday morning. Then they put up the 'email problems' item on the status page, after which time the problems went! All was OK over the weekend, but from this morning I get a timeout about 95% of the time. The status page now mentions problems sending, but strangely that's the only thing which is working for me every time :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

I cannot send or receive e-mail at the moment, I keep getting this error message= The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.ntlworld.com', Server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

any ideas anyone, thanks :)

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues
 

Keep trying. Whenever I get a failure I just retry, the current success rate is about 1 in 20. :(
