NTLWorld Email down

[gazza101uk]

My Dad's @ntlworld.com is not working.  Outlook keeps asking for the password.  I tried to sign in and it says "Your mailbox is not available at the moment.".  The account is fully up to date.

I've done a password reset for him but it still has the same issue.  He's important emails to send so trying to get this sorted for him.

Has he tried logging on to webmail? Does that work OK?

No, it just displays the mailbox is unavailable message

Log in to the MyVirginmedia broadband account. Is the email address listed in the menu?

The same thing is happening with my wife's email address. On Monday, evening trying to receive email would give an authentication error. Then it worked again on Tuesday morning, before again failing in the evening. My own email address (also an 'ntlworld' one) is unaffected. Attempting to access her email via the webmail method lands on a page "Your mailbox is not available at the moment". This is the current situation.

Sorry to see that you have been having issues with getting into your emails. I have checked things on our end and can see that there doesn't seem to be anything obvious that would be causing this.

Hi there @Habanero, welcome back to our forum and thanks for your post.

Sorry to see you are also having issues with your emails, we were aware of a known issue with mails which should now be resolved. Can you please try to reset your password via webmail to see if this helps? 

If this helps, please ensure that you update this on all devices your email is logged into.

Regards

Nathan

The problem cleared itself roughly an hour after I posted. It was not necessary to change the password, and this was the same pattern that has occurred on previous days.

As the OP, I'd just want to confirm that it fixed itself.  There must have been an issue with the accounts on that domain on virgin as it seems a few people had the issue.
