Plusnet Webmail/POP3 Email Access down??
message from Bales1983 (Lee Bales) on 28 Jun 2005
Hi,

Is anyone else having trouble logging into their plusnet email?? On the
pop3 i get 'login failed' and on webmail it just defaults back to the
webmail login screen.

Anyone else got a problem??

Thanks

Lee

Yep, since 10 am this morning, and both Webmail and POP3 are still dead for me now
(16:10 hrs) PlusNet have told me it will be fixed overnight (June 28 into 29th)

Well, although nobody ever sends mail to my plusnet a/c OE still checks it
and it ain't said there's a problem.

PlusNet say "only a minority of users are affected". I'm always in a minority it
seems !

If you were to sign up for their service status mailing list ....

. . . you wouldn't be able to access the POP server to receive the status
messages - so you'd be no wiser!

Hint: you are not restricted to using a Plus.Net mailbox, and even if
you were limited in some way, you could use a forwarding address to get
the mail sent somewhere else... Only if { sending mail | outside links |
recipient mailbox } problems took place would mail fail to get to you. PM

Of course you can use forwarding - or have the status mail sent somewhere
else entirely - but you'd be surprised how many people I come across with
only *one* email address - even though you and I may have dozens of the
things to choose from.

True, and http://usertools.plus.net/ seems the place to go, but the
first post was in advance of there being any status info (that I have
seen, so far). The last item I've seen posted at about 13:10 was:

I've just tried reading my Force 9 mail using Outlook Express and POP3, and
using Webmail. Both have worked fine for me. Maybe its a problem that's
confined to PlusNet and not its affiliates like Force 9. I never know how
much or how little the technical services are integrated between F9 and PN.

I've got one BB and two PAYG accounts with PN. I can't connect to the pop
server from *one* of the PAYG accounts - but the other 2 accounts are fine.

Not sure how they explain that - but they keep telling me that they are
aware of the problem and are working on it.
