After a couple of days of intermittent email access failures (i.e. failing to log on successfully to the POP server), my incoming e-mail stopped being accessible some time on the morning of Feb 24 and as at 08:00 a.m. on Feb 25, is still flat on its back. I tried various means of accessing it (i.e., Eudora client, Nokia phone client and even an OE client), but all to no avail.

What I experience now is that I can access the POP server but after checking for new mail the email client then disconnects immediately just like it does when nothing new arrived. But I know there should be there mail for me, including test messages I sent myself from outside NTLWORLD.

I guess I will have to try to be "patient".

I have one question for the more experinced members looking @ this discussion board: where exactly does NTL post / publish on the Web the current status for this or any other problem? I have been <shall we say ....> somewhat irritated to read this headline message from NTL:

"Service restored

Latest information -

You may have experienced intermittent problems with the following ntl internet services in the last 24 hours: email, ntlworld.com, Broadband Plus, Personal webspace, Account Management pages to change broadband speeds, registering for broadband for the first time, or re-registering a new computer for the broadband service.

These are now resolved. Please bear with us whilst we get everyone back to full service.",

which I found here: http://www.ntlworld.com/ , and still appears even though it is clear that "get[ting] everyone back to full service" is taking some time.

Doubtless they have been communicating the status to their users by ... sending us e-mails ?
