Matt is currently working on a lingering error with webmail and has it down for the time being. We'll let you all know as soon as we have any definitive info on this.....

hmmmmmmm "packet-size too large" - is that really a problem?

Nope. @mail keeps corrupting the databases somehow... Been trying to tweak it for two days... We'll see what else we can do.

[dweimann]

any ETA for webmail to be back up?

Its up... a few databases are corrupted, anybody with emails that begin with "L", "R", "S", "W", and a few more will experience problems.

Any update on the problem with corrupt emails begining with certain letters, (including 's'),

[Brangwyn]

If they delete and recreate their mailboxes will that resolve the corruption ?

No, its the tables... I will be doin an extensive check on the database later tonight.

@mail is down for extensive checking now. Not sure expected downtime...

Ouch, hope we can figure out this @mail problem soon. Just got a call from my "reference" client. Hope solving @mail has become a high priority.

@mail is up and running... I don't see anymore database errors popping up... Some weird stuff about permission for images and whatnot... If its you thats getting those, submit a ticket with how u got there.

[Brangwyn]

Good stuff cheers Matt.

No wonder your post count is so high :P

We'll be looking into switching entirely over to IMAP later this week. Would greatly appreciate your feedback if you want to try switching from POP3 to IMAP and letting us know if you notice anythign wrong/different... I can only do so much testing

I just believe in making it a habit to say thanks when people fix things ... the added postcount is just a nice bonus
