UTV deleting email accounts.

Comhrá

Same here. Back up and running but no emails???
Was expecting some but they haven't shown up :mad:

More recent emails have come through, but nothing before 20.05 last night and 10.46am today.

Why does dna.ie ring a bell in the back of my head. I think I had one of those but about 20yrs ago.

They've responded to me on Twitter saying it may take some time for the emails to filter through.

To be honest, I've had problems in the past with emails not going thru or being recieved. This is the impetus I need to migrate to Gmail. An email address isn't worth €25 per month.

Bad move on their behalf as, although these are 'free' email addresses, they will lose thousands of customers over this, customers they could've marketed new services to. Already having an email address would have been an incentive for some people to sign up to new products.

I thought it was €25 per year?

Tazz T

It is. My mistake.


/still not worth it tho/

It is €25 per year, not per month.

Hi All


Finally I got my emails.
having spoken to UTV it was a problem with their Mail Server.

I hope that this resolves the matter


it will take a few weeks before they are ready to migrate people to the paid service.

Please keep me posted.

Did anyone get their emails from when the server was down back?

DNA was a small Northern Ireland based ISP that entered the market in the south maybe in 2002 or so, pre-broadband anyway, and were soon after taken over by UTV. I think I stayed with UTV a short time before moving to Esat (remember them?) when they launched ADSL.

Since UTV had some free services back then, they allowed users to keep their email accounts going for nothing and I'd say there's still a few of us with dna.ie emails in use. Not for much longer, though...

(BTW - mine was fixed today and now it's broken again)

Johnfred

Gone again and they want us to pay for this crap service

Hi all,

I received a few emails, but now it seems the server is down again.

Comhrá

Still out at 9.38 this morning. How does it take so long to fix?

Comhrá

Phoned them at 11.10am today. Person apologized for break in service but was unable to say when it would be fixed.

I don't see any updates from UTV on Twitter this morning either....not great service to be honest. Must look at changing ISP soon.

PauloMN

Yep can't connect via my Windows Live Mail.

silverski

Its still down and has been down since 8pm GMT last night.

No details on when it will be back up

2 days running now.

irishgeo

i wont be paying so

Tazz T

This is rubbish. I've still haven't had my emails from yesterday.

cunnijo

Just checked in the last few minutes. Seems to be back up, for how long you may ask?

Comhrá

Mine is still down. Hard to imagine it takes so long to fix, but I really don't know what the issues are. UTV is not giving much details or saying when it might be fixed.

silverski

Hi all,

Still checking and no emails access yet.

cunnijo

Checked again. It seems that email clients still cannot access the server. However their webmail page seems to be working for now.

Comhrá

Up and running again.....hope it keeps going ok!

silverski

hi all

Yes, finally got some emails.

irishgeo

its hardly great timing, send a email demanding 25 euro per year to keep your email address and the have the server keel over twice in 2 days.
