I am finding that IMAP access is work fine for me at this point in time. Never noticed it being down, but this is the first time I used it today.
Access to news.spamcop.net does seem to be down (at least I can no longer access it at this point in time)

The issue is, they aren't really down. And lots of people can get to the
successfully. But, I know that there are problems. I'm actually having
outbound problems delivering some mail, too. I'm going to call the data
center to see if they are aware of routing issues. I'll keep working on
this end to try to see if there is an internal issue.

Eventually, this arrives ....

At approximately 8:30 AM EST the Operations Center detected an issue
with a GSR. At noon today, we will route traffic around that GSR. You
may notice a momentary interruption in service while routes reconverge.

At 2am on Sunday morning, maintenance will be performed on the GSR.

And to think, the sweet lady I talked to at the Data Center assured me that it couldn't be their equipment, but would be so glad to offer their "LAN support technical services" and jump right on the issue for only $160 U.S. an hour .....

really wierd actually ... looking at the network routing 'now' .... the paths that failed earlier this morning are exactly the 'same' paths as noted for the webmail server that was seen [bt me] as working (only difference being the actual server involved with the specific service)

This mornings failed data;
