No ETA I'm afraid. It will take as log as it takes, hopefully in the region of hours!

Could future post regarding the e-mail outage be posted in the technical thread here, just to prevent duplication ad it's more relevant to that forum.

I guess this is a really stupid question but is there any eta on when email will be up and running again? Hours, days, weeks?

You're doing good chas as always.

I use EMail Pro for important e-mails, 'free email' is for anything that isn't important.

It's not really good enough as people will be waiting to recieve important e-mails. I think Freeola should give a free month. There are other companies with E-mail servers out there you know

We are of course attempting to resolve this as quickly as possible, and we are also keeping the status page updated with any further information. To recap however, an engineer is currently onsite.

You are right, there are other mail services out there, all of which experience issues at one time or another. Unfortunately, these outages are never convenient, no matter when they occur, which is why we try to keep such events to a minimum.

Can be several hours if the disks contain millions of small files. Quiet hard to tell how long this will take though. Really sorry for the service interruption.

Evening pb ... all is well I can see, hope you and yours had a good Christmas Day :¬)

Bit perturbed about this though ...

" Update 19:15

The server has experienced an unplanned restart and is currently running disk checks. Once they have completed, service should be restored."

How long does an email server need to run "disk checks"?

Evening.

Just got home after having to wait around outside the shops with my dog due to the girls wanting to look at the sales and use their vouchers, plus a quick shop in Tesco to get something to eat and pick up a few post-Christmas bargains from the seasonal aisle!

I think we'll miss the snow completely yet again. Hasn't snowed and settled here since 2011.

My phone flashed up with a yellow snow warning for our area yesterday, nobody likes yellow snow...
