Anyone else experiencing slow response from the ATT mail servers to and from your pop3 client software the past few days? |

| I've been encountering the same delay/time outs when checking my email.
I have noticed that if I compose a message and hit Send/Receive in Outlook, it still handles outgoing messages with ease. But if I only open Outlook to receive messages, it's almost unbearable. |

Awful in Branford CT.
Who do you complain to? (Don't say India.) |

| India, HA! Who else is there to get a response from?
I hadn't called tech support in more than a year, and did last month fed up with inconsistent service. Needless to say that was a waste of time- I could explain further but it'd need its own thread.
When I called sales I told the representative that 'I called tech three times looking for help, and couldn't find someone smarter than myself'. He laughed, and gave us crazy upgrades free of charge. |

I wouldn't be surprised if all the SPAM recently might be slowing down some servers. I am so pleased to know that I have so many relatives that are sending me e-greeting cards! |

System wide issue from what I can see. They are Yahoo's servers so good luck when you call AT&T to get the issue looked into.
Let this be a lesson - Never tie your e-mail to an residential ISP.
ISP = Internet service provider. Not mail provider, not software provider, not virus protection provider, not SPAM filtering provider. I count on them to provide me with access to the 'net. Nothing else.

| said by meskinct  :Let this be a lesson - Never tie your e-mail to an residential ISP. Yes, good point. Yahoo webmail is still working normally for me. It seems to be a POPmail problem. You would think they would push POP service, since it should use fewer of their resources than web service, but maybe we are a niche group.
I switched off web mail to POP a while back, because of security and portability issues. You could go to gmail. They aren't tied to the ISP, but they still have those other problems. I also run a mail server on my Linux box, but then you are screwed if you lose DSL or if your server conks out. And you have to worry about Sendmail from time to time. (Possibly the world's scariest software.)
So there's no perfect solution. |
