last night my xtra email accounts on outlook 2013, 2016 and thunderbird on different windows PCs stop working with error internal server error #IS6532 and rejecting passwords etc. I have checked settings etc. I had earlier given permission etc for the coming changes. I can access with webmail and Android mobile access is ok. Have I missed something?

No - issue is with Spark/Yahoo. It's posted on Sparks status page.

Some customers may be experiencing problems sending or receiving Yahoo! Xtra mail when using third party email clients such as outlook. Our technicians are currently working on it.

NOTE: this issue is only affecting my POP3 accounts

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

thanks for updates. There was nothing at 9 00am today but now see status updates on Spark and facebook. Better late than never but 12 hours late is stretching it a bit...

If it helps anyone, I am able to access my xtra email in Outlook using IMAP, but I am not able to access it in Thunderbird using POP mail today. In case it is significant - I changed my IMAP settings in Outlook a month or so ago to the new IMAP settings Spark recommends as found here: https://www.spark.co.nz/myspark/myemail/emailchanges/ These are the settings needed for when spark migrates to SMX.

Today my yahoo email accounts (separate accounts to my xtra mail) are a bit hit and miss to access in POP mail also. Re-trying will work on my yahoo acounts, but still getting the an error message with xtra account in POP mail.

It went down about 11 pm last night as I kept getting login pop ups in outlook. Although that isn't uncommon with xtra email. It is amazing people use it for mission critical stuff. But many people don't want to pay extra for a domain and email hosting.

OK we are up and running on POP3 & IMAP accounts as of now. Though Spark haven't updated there "service alert" page yet.

POP working for me now. Would like to know how it took so long to filter down and start the fix process.

There is a work around posted in the first post here: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=205314

ignore all the haters later on in the post - seems the original poster was correct as the settings here do still work while "proper settings failed"
