Re: [Merged] E-Mail dead again

Email down again today, just setup a forward as I need access to an important message and the Frigging thing goes down!! Somebody said that they were upgrading the email software to something more stable with a better interface maybe?? Hope so. I use the Notts servers, can't do POP access at the moment.

Re: [Merged] E-Mail dead again

This just plain sucks.
Never ever in the history of my internet usage since 1993 with various providers have I ever experienced such an unreliable email service as NTL.

Re: [Merged] E-Mail dead again

Gawd, I'm having to phone people up and actually speak to them .... :(

Can't think how I managed to survive like this before I got email; it's bit like being in one of those 'I love the 80s' shows TV companies put on to recycle their back catalogue of clips .... ;)

If they can sort it out by tomorrow I'll be able to send them an email thanking them for my speed increase .... :D

Seems crazy that I have to do that, but at least it works and there's no delay on the fowarding of messages.

Don't see how this works when NTL mail server is down (should that read ALWAYS)?

Even Telnet doesn't work, as below, so can't see how it can forward if it's down :confused:

+OK InterMail POP3 server ready.

+OK please send PASS command

NTL email sucks....what the f**** is going on? What is the "technical fault"? Come on - it's always going to be a technical fault isn't it? It's not like somebody forgot the 50p for the meter is it? Just bloody well give us some more info!!!! FFS PULL YER FINGER OUT....THIS email service SUCKS big time...

Also, haven't ntl broken their SLA??

Re: [Merged] E-Mail dead again

I got access to my email yesterday & sorted through all the spam that's been waiting for days to flood my inbox & now it's gone off again *sigh* makes life difficult with getting replies to messages on the various forums I visit, people are starting to think I'm ignoring them.

Hopefully this upgrade they're working on now will sort out the problems permanently :D

Re: [Merged] E-Mail dead again

Has anybody phoned the Muppets on support to see if we might get the email service restored this millennium?
