Onetel e mail server down since Sat 15/12/07

Once again onetel customers cannot d/load any e mails; probably same
for talktalk too.

It's appalling that network status page on web site shows e mail is
"active & responding";
rubbish Mr Dunstone.

I considered this sort of option, but as my club's web-hosting had to be
changed twice in about 3 years, due to the companies going bust, is there
any advantage?

Not sure that I like the idea of web-based e-mail, e.g. Google.

I don't like it either, but Googlemail can be POP3'd easily enough, I use
it for my domain mail forwarding as well, and it's worked a treat since the
outset.

Ah, POP3, thanks.
Google seems to need cookies all the while; Yahoo needs a cookie for its
own use (fair enough) but not for other sites (easy to set up in Opera) and
seems to have a better privacy policy than does Google.

Any one have opinions on either, please?

These alternatives to ISPs could be useful to many people.

Sounds as if you had some poor choices with you hosting - I don't like the
security issues with Google,but like most thing there are issues with
security.

....or not!

They can't even spell "welcome" correctly.

"Alternatively, if you are based in Local, why not pop in"...

Anyone know where "Local" is?

"Who's hosting packages"? Whois maybe :-)

"Many people have attempt to self-build their own website"?

To have, or have not...

Lastly (I could go on) I couldn't help noticing this site (which is
itself selling its own web hosting et al) is using Google Ads to
effectively sell competing services. How fucked up is that!?!

DEFINITELY a provider to avoid. If they can't set their own web site up
correctly, 'gawd' knows how they treat customer data.

Joker7 - at least peddle services that aren't going to ruin your
reputation!

Personally, I'd use no-one else but 1&1 for my email - absolutely
faultless to date IME.

I look after 14 email addresses on 8 different ISP's / email providers.
The only one that periodically has outages if OneTel !
It's been doing it for years. Why can't Talk Talk sort them out ?

And today the 22nd it's down yet again.
