Hello there!

Not sure whether I should've created a new thread or updated my previous thread, but I figure that as there are now emerging issues with Snap's email upgrade a separate thread would be best to keep issues separate for clarity's sake ...

[1] I just tried sending an email from the new Snap webmail and it failed with SMTP error (535): authentication failed

[2] Our email address that was previously name@snap.net.nz now appears in the 'From' field as name@imap.snap.net.nz

I was however able to successfully send an email to name@snap.net.nz (tested via Gmail).

OK then - looking forward to these gremlins being resolved! 😖

Thanks!

Larry & Simone

UPDATE:

[3] We can no longer access/manage email aliases via 'Your 2degrees' - the 'email' option has been removed (previously available to all former Snap accounts)

Presumably you have logged these issues with 2Degrees and you're just posting here to see whether other ex-Snap users are seeing similar?

That's right allan ... I posted here mainly so other Snap users on geekzone would know they weren't the only people affected (always comforting to know you're not alone with these sorts of things I find!)

Items [1] and [2] have now been resolved, likewise the 'contacts' issue mentioned in the other thread, so the upgrade does indeed appear to be an ongoing work-in-progress.

Item [3] doesn't seem to be directly related to the software upgrade, so remains unresolved at present ...
