My mail accounts are ok. No backlog at all.....

Mind you, that may have something to do with the fact that I've got everything forwarded to the email addresses for my new domain name

Hi There Folks

This is my first post, I've been tracking the discussion for a couple of days. Anyway after no Email or NTLworld for three days; somebody has at last pressed the correct button and everything in the garden is rosy ....................... at least for now?

Mine has started to come through - 8 at a time so far! Anyway, it seems that something has icked in. My test emails are getting in and out fast.

I have had so much of this happening that I have given up and got myself a gmail account - anyone want one - I have some invites

I've had enough of ntl too. I can't change our ISP altogether, but email server problems have been driving me mad for months. I've gone with GMail too, as of this afternoon. It's great!!! Can't recommend it highly enough!

Not happening here

Garden is barren and bereft.

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 ?

I have had nothing but 1 spam email in the last 24 hours. Test emails via other ISPs don't appear on webmail. Never seen anything as bad as this before. The ntl status report doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Time for a change I think.

whiteswan · 25-02-2005, 09:30

Hi

Right I am gonna correct myself.

I said on the last page mines back on and all spam has stopped........WELL ITS NOT!

Whats happening is that 2 of my email addresses appear to be fine - but my main one - is SAYING its checking mail - BUT ITS ACTUALLY NOT!

I havent recieved any spam because IHAVENT RECIEVED ANY MAIL FOR 3 DAYS from that address...............yet when u click on Outlook Express Send/Recieve it APPEARS to be checking it and doesnt report any errors....

This is ridiculous!

Ditto. Switched on today and have a solitary spam in my inbox. Service Status now says:

"ntlworld broadband customers will currently find that mail that has been sent to them over the last 3 days has not yet been delivered. This is due to a now resolved core outage. Customers should note that any outstanding mail should be delivered to them throughout the day today, friday the 25th feb.

Please also note that due to these issues our technical support associates will be unable to assist you with mail delay.

ntl would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Hands up those who believe them. I've had a forward to a Hotmail account on since yesterday so it'll be intreresting to see what does and doesn't turn up on my ntlworld account today.
