Email Issue - Resolved
At this time Yahoo!/Xtra mail access is fully restored for all customers:
All customers affected will now be able to access their Yahoo!/Xtra Mail accounts via webmail. Customers will be able to log into their accounts, and send and receive messages.
Access via third party clients, such as Microsoft Outlook has been fully restored. Customers will be able to send and receive emails via mail clients.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused.
I have just had another popup box appear to say it was temporarily unavailable, but pressed ok, and it worked. So something is still not right with telecom/ yahoo/xtra.
Was trying to reset some folks passwords who had typed the wrong one into their email client when the box popped up, and surprise surprise that was stuffed too. So helpdesk wait it was.
Issue with resetting Yahoo! Xtra email passwords.
We are currently aware of an intermittent issue impacting customer’s ability to reset their email passwords. Technicians are currently investigating the cause. At this stage our representatives are unable to provide any additional information. We apologise for any inconvenience.
I was told to reduce the amount of times my account checks the server, down to 15 minutes, but these days you expect to check email more often than that. I don't think telecom are all that intereted in the problem, or it is in the too hard basket trying to deal with yahoo to fix it
kiwigeek1: never had a problem before checking emails at any time interval.. sometimes right after
however pop peeper just check for headers
I doubt 5min intervals would be a issue alone 15min
Makes you wonder if their servers aren't overloaded with accounts. I run about 4 different email addresses each checking the server every few minutes with different providers, and Telecoms is the only one that pops up with the login and unavailable server error a few times a day.
Just had another series of login popup boxs appear just now, so Telecoms email is down again, with the same error message.
I was told by telecom staff that their email system quote 'can be fussy at times' . So it obviously has problems that they are aware of. The question is whether they have asked their provided yahoo to fix it.
