Peter and all
FIrst of all it would be better if you got you Http address correct.
It
is http://www2.netcom.com not http:/www.netcom.com. You left
out a "/" and you also did not get the "www" correct as it should have
been
"www2". Second, if you read the E-Mail outage message correctly it
clearly goes on to state:
"Netcom E-mail Outage
As many of you know, Netcom experienced an e-mail file server
failure.
Below is an explanation and response from MindSpring CEO, Charles
Brewer.
Update - Thursday, May 13. We are still working on fixing the
problem.
Thank you for your continued patience.
Dear MindSpring/NETCOM Customer,
I'm sending this message to all of our customers who have a NETCOM
e-mail address beginning with the letter "d". We at MindSpring owe
all of
you a big apology!
On Monday evening, an e-mail server in the NETCOM network failed.
As
a result, MindSpring/NETCOM customers with mailbox names beginning
with the letter "d" were not able to retrieve their e-mail until
6:30 AM
EDT/3:30 AM PDT this morning (Wednesday, May 12).
Here is the current state of things:
Your mailbox should be active by 2AM Eastern Time Thursday
morning (Wednesday evening) Because of the heavy traffic
while
everyone collects their messages, for a short period of time
the
system may run slowly or even indicate an occasional failed
connection to the mail server. This does not indicate the
servers
have failed again. "
