I appreciate people will be busy this morning but it someone could provide a likely ETA for normal service it would be much appreciated - either on the Status page or here?
Thanks in advance.
NB. twitter.com/Freeola would work well for Service updates and if the outage was affecting your website you could still reach the world :¬)

Many thanks for your response. The forwarding is to an orange.es domain and stopped working in sync with the issue. This is what I've just tried:-
Cancelled forwarding, set my mail client up to recv. from freeola a/c and then sent myself a test message to my freeola a/c - test succeeded
Still with forwarding cancelled, set myself a mail to my actual addy - test succeeded
Reactivated forwarding then sent myself a mail to my freeola a/d and the mail never arrived to my orange.es. Furthermore, I'm unable to get the same mail from the freeola connection so it appears that all my mails are just sinking in to a black hole.
My workaround for now is to cancel forwarding, get inbound mail from freeola and send outboud via the orange.es domain.
Kind regards and thanks for your useful advice.

My worry was that he says he is still waiting on email - but how would he know what he was waiting on? if I were a new customer I would have no way of contacting him via his web site as his contact page is not available, and at no point during the email outage was the webspace affected, cleary his site is hosted on Freeoal as it has there 404 page, I would have thought he may have had custom 404 pages I got the impression they were a big company when he sent 20 staff home. I am confussed. Oh and a tried .com and other variants of the web address but cant find another site offering a contact page

Hi Digi (& World Air Group!),
As you know I mentioned this earlier but 'WAG' said they were 'on the case' and that they also have another website.
Strange though, as they mentioned they provide such a critical service! I can see a number of posts elsewhere where they use email accounts associated with the broken website!?!
So I'm sure people (other than us) will be looking at their website before using their services...
We can only help people so much :¬)

Hi.
I've just tested an email address with forwarding in place and it arrived immediately.
This was forwarding to a different Freeola hosted domain.
Who's hosting/providing the address you are forwarding to?
In the past there have been problems with Hotmail accounts but the problem was resolved as far as I'm aware.
Have you checked your spam/junk settings etc.?
If there is still any 'catchup' going on then this shouldn't be affecting you. Have you got Freeola webmail access where you can take a look at your account in case it's still sitting there and not forwarding?
If you've no luck with any of the above I would cancel forwarding and set it up again (perhaps to a different account) and see if things change.

Hi Laura,
Glad to have helped :¬)
So far this combination is the best solution to 'outages' and 'access' I've found - but I'm always looking for better ways!
[s]Hmmm...[/s]
After struggling for a while yesterday... and I'm not entirely sure how I've done it... but I've managed to get GMail to work so that a copy of any message received in my business outlook account goes there too.
I'm absolutely delighted. Thank you.

No it shouldn't, but try sending another - all my 'test messages' sorted the problem
Many thanks
