Is your crappy Telus Email service exceptionally crappy again?
Anyone else have any information why my login to the telus pop3 server has failed 40 or 50 times in the last 3 days? Is anyone at telus willing to address the problem besides with empty apologies and...
Nighthawk Thanks for the info. Apple Mail does not seem to report all failed logins (just retries after a delay), I don't know about thunderbird? I reproduced the problem simply telnetting into the POP3 host so the problem is definitely not client dependent. Probably the telus LDAP server again (sigh).
I've been using Telus ADSL since they first offered it in the 90's and the one thing I've learned is that none of their servers should be relied on to work properly or reliably. I run all necessary services (DNS, NTP, email, etc) from other external services. It simply is not worth the headache to rely on Telus.
