Delayed and duplicate emails

Theodoric · 26-07-2004, 11:43

I seem to have a problem similar to, but not the same, as that recently reported by Dr Toxic. This morning I received duplicate copies of an email sent to me yesterday. However, I also received 4 copies of a confirmation message sent to me on 1 June. I know that I never received this latter message at the time because I emailed the firm asking why I had not had a confirmation.

Count yourself lucky, I still can't receive anything

My email has been shocking for the past few days taking ages to download on all accounts, usually timing out.

I have just managed to get messages from one account downloaded and there is one message that appears 9 times, all with slightly different times varying from one minute to ten minutes between them.

Same here.

I assumed it was due to the 'email maintenance' on the service status page. But according to that, it was resolved yesterday.

Yesterday I joined a mailing list and sent a message to the list. I never received a copy of the email I sent, nor did I receive the two replies as shown in the archive for the list. So that's three emails MIA, presumably because of the work on the email servers.

there seems to be some work being done on the e-mail servers at the moment. Response times are alot longer than usual. It seems like the servers are being taken out of action and not synchronising correctly. I think this is due to the maintenance work they are doing at the moment as listed on the status page of the ntl site. If it still happens after that is taken off then log a call with CS
