carrickp Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 It seems Spamcop webmail is down again at 5:30 p.m. EDT Saturday. I rely on this service to get my e-mail and when it doesn't work I am in trouble. Do I need to find a new provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 You are correct, and yes, if you can't tolerate these repeated outages, you might want to start shopping for a more reliable provider. SC email accounts ([at]spamcop.net and [at]cesmail.net) are totally DOWN right NOW, and it's almost six hours until the scheduled "five minute" downtime! Webmail is down, POP is down, IMAP is down. People are reporting it in the Usenet group also. WTF????? Wazoo, if you're around, please call JT right away. Thanks, DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchauncey@spamcop.net Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 They appear to be having major problems again. Not sure what the issue is, but as a customer of 5+ years, the last several months has been painful...seems the uptime is downtime, all too often.

DavidT Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 And the best person to contact JT is Wazoo, who seems to be away from his computer today. I sent him a PM, which should generate an alert to his private email, I'd guess. Wait a moment....I just was able to POP my SC mailbox, and now I can also connect to the IMAP folders, although webmail is still down. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchauncey@spamcop.net Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yea, I am able to get back to my IMAP accounts, been like a yo-yo most of the day. However just checked, still can't get into WebMail. And the best person to contact JT is Wazoo, who seems to be away from his computer today.

DavidT Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was able to finally load the webmail page, and there's an announcement there about this situation: [18:05 EDT] We are having problems today with the new database servers. This is causing webmail problems mainly, but also sporadic problems logging into POP or IMAP. (I'd say it's a bit worse than "sporadic") DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidT Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 BTW, the "news" I quoted above seems only to have been posted to the "http" and *not* to the "https" version of the webmail page (and yes, I reloaded, used two different browsers, cleared my cache, etc.). There are currently two announcement on the unsecure page and none at all on the secure version. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The following update is showing on both the secure and unsecure webmail pages: [23:47 EDT] The maintenance scheduled for tonight is done. We managed to limit the outage to just a few seconds. In other news, the database issues from earlier today are fixed. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 There is a new announcement here and on the webmail login page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcstones Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 There is a new announcement here and on the webmail login page. It's Monday afternoon here...I was able to delete an old identity (yesterday/Sunday) but stillnnot able to remove/change signatures (have tried off & on since then). I did fill out report form yesterday as requested by the Announcement but have heard nothing since...and seen no response in this forum either. Am I just too quick? Is it just me? None of this is earth-shaking for me, I don't seem to have any problems accessing email that I notice has been on the forums here so I guess I'm quite lucky (knock on wood - well faux wood anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
