It appears to me that webmail is STILL flaky on the 17th. Sometimes its working but it is often still not responding.

Part of the problem is people auto checking their email every few minutes. I use to have problems until I set an interval of 1 hour instead of every few minutes. You know what, not only did it solve some of my mail issues I actually get work done. Imagine that.

@ fourwding Mail doesn’t use MSQL.
@Gene. These announcements are for system wide problems not individual server problems. If you are having problems outside the ’system wide’ problem then turn in a notice.
@Not Happy Says; I haven’t had any mail problems except for 10 to 15 minutes when I couldn’t send via SMTP. But then that’s why I have my own backup of Gmail.

This announcement is incorrectly titled to imply that only webmail is down. At least in my case, email itself is completely down—no third-party client or system can retrieve messages from mail.mysite.ext. Mail sent from other addresses bounce back. if the problem were restricted to webmail it would be far less aggregious.

Please correct your announcement to reflect the actual situation.

And yet again, here we are today with another email problem. Almost every single day I have email issues!! I’m glad I’m not counting on my website being up all the time. Dreamhost seems to be getting worse by the day. Time to find another service.

OK, webmail is working. Now can I please ftp to my site?

Also, speaking as one “idiot” who uses webmail: That’s the only way I can check the Junk Mail folder, which often contains legit emails. Pardon me, but some of us have good reasons for using webmail in addition to our regular email client. Anyone ever heard of public computers? I use ‘em when I don’t have my laptop with me.
