Anyone having probs with iolfree.ie email??

sudzs

I cant get my iolfree.ie (BT Ireland) mail anywhere! Windows mail was giving an error message earlier - "cannot connect to mail server", and now it is just timing out.

If I go to the iolfree.ie mail website I can log in but it doesn't show any emails in my inbox. Just a blank!!

Mail2web is takes forever to do anything and then it says Login failure. :eek:

Anyone know what's happened?!!! Is it just me??!!

Looks like an issue alright, I tried Telnet into the server is not working either. Must be a global problem.

IIRC their outgoing servers are different from their incoming so that explains this.

sudzs

Me too!

is this down for everyone again?

Seems to be down again - However nothing confirmed as of yet.. Anyone else having the same issues?

sudzs

Just popped in here to see if anyone having iolfree problems and funny to see my old thread up at the top of the page!!

And yes, same problem here too. Can't even get anything on mail2web either. :rolleyes:

whats the score with the support there now? I tried this morning got put through to vodafone who tell me email is nothing to do with them?

sudzs

When I launch my mail thingy there's a little AVG box at the bottom of the screen that says "connecting to butler.esatclear.ie"

Is vodafone your interneet provider? Try BT for support. When you click on "help" from the iol webmail page it brings you to a BT support page.

i tried to call bt tech support just to ask if servers are down, you then get told to dial another number which is vodafone helpline

My IOL.IE account is fine but my IOLFREE.IE which I use for most things is not working.
Even when I try to check through the IOL portal
http://webmail.iolfree.ie/cgi-bin/cwmail.cgi
I get :
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]An error has occurred[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Cannot connect to POP host pop.iolfree.ie:
W13: POP open failed
W14: Login failed, try again
W20: User login error[/FONT]

Also followed phone rout with result as others have had,

They can't have just pulled the plug on iolfree surely ?

surely they would tell us first? Is there anyone we can contact?

Surely they would!

I'm trying to be optimistic here and hoping/guessing there is problem with servers somewhere and they will fix it eventually like the last time!

I don't know who to contact... I haven't tried really, other having a quick look for an online form or support email. Found neither.

It's my main email so if it's still down tomorrow I'll be trying a lot harder then!
