That really stinks, and here I thought the almost 24-hour outage was awful. But I haven’t had any issues since then, and I’ve been a member for many, many years.

That’s a ridiculous thing to have happened to you.

@ Mary as well. I’ve been a .mac user for several years and now I’ve been unable to receive or send any email for a week now. I was in a middle of selling my house in Baltimore and have been communicating with my Realtor about offers via email. This is ridiculous and I’m a network administrator myself and if I was unable to bring our mail server back up within 24 hours then I would be out updating my resume right now. I can’t be without email this long so I am looking to creating my GMail account tonight. F MobileMe.

@Mary – I’m not sure then. The tech support people told me it was because of the server that I was on. I assumed there is some type of logic behind who gets put on what server. Maybe it has to do with your user name or something like that. I just wish they would get it fixed. It seems completely ridiculous that it has been down for an entire week now.

“I think the people who are having trouble with email are the ones who have been using the service for years. I’ve been a .mac subscriber since 2002. ”
But so have I.

I think the people who are having trouble with email are the ones who have been using the service for years. I’ve been a .mac subscriber since 2002. People who are on the newer servers seem to be getting emails.

Ridiculous. Ironically, I haven’t had a single problem with MobileMe yet I’m primarily a Gmail user. Trust Murphy’s Law to ensure only those relying on the service will get hit with the probs.

I haven’t had any problem with email. I’ve waited for things to settle down before I even tried syncing, though, since syncing before was such a nightmare.
