When is the Upgrade?

**gdg** · 7 Sep 2004, 06:42 AM

Does anyone know when exactly the upgrades will occur this month?

Jeremy Howard · 7 Sep 2004, 06:47 AM

No, we don't have an exact date. It won't be long now. We are just finishing some testing of a new version of the IMAP server - the previous version did not correctly handle quotas larger than 2GB (which people who bought extra storage will have).

Thanks.

Seaweed, Fastmail already offers an SMTP server... :-/ This upgrade is the upgrade of the amount of storage space each account will have and the bandwidth available to them.

Perhaps your respective browsers have that page cached.

When I attempt to view http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/newquotas.html, this is what I see:

Not Found

The requested URL /docs/newquotas.html was not found on this server.

Apparently, JGrabinski's report that the page is unavailable was correct.

I just Ctrl+F5'ed that page, no problems.

Odd. I can't access it either...

Random Theory: The webserver farm has been rolled out... perhaps it's available on some of the servers, but not on others?

Wouldn't that mean that retrying should solve the problem?

Can you try https (works for me)?

kander · 10 Sep 2004, 01:52 AM

Secure or not, still 404. You're right about retrying (I tried it a bunch of times to make sure, no good).

Maybe it’s worth my adding that it wasn’t working for me, despite repeated Reloads, but then suddenly started working.  This was by HTTP; I then tried HTTPS, which worked, but I don’t know if it was working before.
