Sorry to hear you had problems, Russ - but given that a password is 10 characters (10 seconds to input?) then either you have an inordinately long user name or you need a speed typing course - 119 minutes 50 seconds to type your name?

No like me he is getting on in years so it takes two hours just to remember our name let alone a password.

Re: Merged-ntlworld Email service - Planned Maintenance.

I have just been informed, on good authority, that the problem with the email servers was caused when the resident hamster was taken out for a breath of fresh air. NTL have to do this quite often because the hamsters become lethargic due to the smell of bullsh*t that is common in NTL premises. Unfortunately the email servers had been relocated to India and were in the same building as the NTL call centre. One of the call centre elephants which were there because someone at NTL had decided that they needed elephants in order to make trunk calls hadn't noticed the hamster and had trod on it meaning a long outage whilst they find a replacement.

Wonders...did they perhaps create a clone of Hammy?

Re: Merged-ntlworld Email service - Planned Maintenance.

looks like the same mail server version to me - InterMail vM.4.01.03.37 201-229-121-137-20020806

Perhaps it was a hardware upgrade !!

2 of my email addresses are still awful. I'm still constantly bombarded every 2minutes with a timeout message. So much for the upgrade.

This is just a guess, but it could be that a few individual servers carrying the user/password info are still off-line and those extra accounts will return to normal before too long.

One option could be to delete and re-set those specific accounts in Outlook/Outlook Express to see if that helps but I would wait a few before doing that just in case my first guess is correct.
