Re: Mail.optonline.net

Well at the time I posted it, it definitely was down for me. It's working just fine now, though.

But that's my problem, it'll work, and go down, and then work for a while, then go down.

Is this a problem though? People who use OOL mail regularly, do they have this problem lately with their email? Or is this only me?

Stopped using OOL for for email about 4 years ago. They were always terrible,lost email, and went down often, unlike the internet service, which is great!

@Calendarman: I've been having my own email issues with OOL for a while now--too complicated for me to post right now, although I may start another thread when I have some time. If you don't mind my asking, are you just totally using webmail instead, or do you pay a 3rd party like GoDaddy for SMTP/POP? The latter is something I'm considering doing myself, so was curious if you had any recommendations. Thanks.

It seems to depend on what email server you're on. I rarely have an issue (unless it is big and widespread) with OOL email, while others seem to have on going issues.
