FM Very Slow?

s a · 15 Jul 2004, 11:46 PM

 
I'm on the east coast and it's taking me forever to get to my inbox - anybody else having problems?

drewcosten · 15 Jul 2004, 11:50 PM

Extremely slow.

olley · 15 Jul 2004, 11:51 PM

Don't know how long you waited, but it is coming up for 4 minutes and I'm still sitting on the login page!
15:50 UK time

I'm now seeing a "cannot find server" page.

The outages do seem to occur when we (in the US) start our work day - related to the load(?) as others have suggested.

zunstone · 15 Jul 2004, 11:51 PM

i get *no* connection to my inbox.

edit: server is down now, again.
Kernel update b4 the weekend, hm ?

same deal for me. as a huge supporter of fastmail overall, i'd have to say service lately has sucked hard.

wow, now it looks like the whole myfastmail.com domain is down.

Initially got a 'The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server. ' message, but now have a 'I'm sorry, the server your email is on is currently down.

This is -extremely- annoying lately

jasonangus · 15 Jul 2004, 11:56 PM

Same here - absolutely nothing! I just signed up for a mailsnare account as a backup. May have to make the move if this keeps happening.

Jeremy mentioned that this may happen again - I expect things will improve after this weekend.

Quote:

So, we expect a scheduled outage of 5 minutes at the latest this weekend (late on Sat night, US time), but may see an unscheduled outage before then if the kernel problem reoccurs.

this is odd;

Things are also going slow here in Belgium, Europe. Last month, when I tried things out as a guest, things were much faster

I also noticed a very small outage, 5 minutes ago.

IMAP seems to work fine.

Jack · 16 Jul 2004, 12:05 AM

Sooo... that's what, the sixth downtime this week so far? It was down for me about ten minutes ago, but it seems to be working again now...
