    There is now a message onscreen stating that 'due to technical difficulties webmail cannot be accessed at this time'.

    pity we had to go searching high and low for this message from eircom.  considering the size of the eircom network and the amount of people having eircom email accounts, a radio/news announcement should have been launched.  wasted hours trying to access my email accounts.  
    Hi thesimpsons
    Our apologies for this inconvenience, and we hope to have webmail access issue resolved soon. We did push out the message that an issue was affecting webmail through Boards.ie, our own forums here on Twitter and on our website here .

    We will update all channels any status reports on issue.

    Hi Tony
    Yes, I know there is an issue, that was why I started the thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭NSAman


    Still not back yet.

    Roll out this morning... how long more? No mail since yesterday afternoon.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,348 ✭✭✭basill


    It seems like there is some sort of issue with eircom email about every 6 months. Your network contingency planning is quite frankly shocking and it is evident that there are no backup servers. The only difference with this outage is that you appear to have acknowledged that there is a major issue. In the past its taken thread ping pong before you have realised there is a problem.

    I still cannot access my Eircom account using MS Outlook.

    I logged on to the Eircom webmail site and I cannot access my email account there either.

    Mine is still out, since last night. Very poor notification from Eircom on their site, no explanation, nothing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭eastwest


    Once this is sorted, I think it will be time to get over my stupid loyalty to Eircom for everything. Paying thru the nose for phone line, non existent broadband and an email service that is unreliable and not accessible from abroad or on mobile devices.
    I need to review all this stuff at the earliest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,465 ✭✭✭finbarrk


    Mine not working either. Come on Eircom ffs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 137 ✭✭Sean9015


    Well, 40 minutes left of the morning and still no e-mail.  However forum on eircom website now says :

    "Support teams have restored service to some customers. Users will notice that the appearance of your webmail tool will have changed. This is temporary condition and full service will be returned when full fix has been implemented.
     
    Work will continue throughout the day in a phased manner to fully restore service for all remaining affected customers.
     
    At the moment we do not have an estimated full restoration time."

    Don't suppose those of us paying through the nose for this will get a refund.......

    To our customers

    Re webmail issue

    As a result of fix rolled out this morning some customers are now able to access their webmail account.

    Please note those customers who can now access their account will NOT receive any new mails until approximately after 12.00 noon.

    As access to webmail accounts is restored progressively throughout the day you will experience delays in receiving new mails due to the backlog of mails currently in the system.

    It may take a number of hours after full service has been restored for these backlogged mails to be delivered.

    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
    The proxy server could not handle the request POST /Email/login.htm.

    Hi chewed

    I'll be unable to give reasons for operational decisions like this but I do understand your point and I will of course pass your feedback to operations.

    Thanks

    I'm in. My password changes didn't take so if you changed yours use your old password.

    There is a new layout on the email.

    got one email and it went down again


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,932 ✭✭✭hinault


    I sent myself an email at 13.05hrs and it arrived at my Eircom account at 13.11hrs.

    It looks like my Eircom account is now working.

    I haven't received emails which I know were sent to me earlier by other users.
