with my work e-mail i'm having major issues with orcon, basically
checking e-mail results in an immediate timeout error. sometimes i can
get e-mail but it takes like 50 attempts before the start to come
through, i also get timeouts with the news server, although web browsing
is fine.

i can't get through to orcon and thought posting here would be quicker
if anyone else knows what its likely to be...? i'm connecting through a
router and have that set as gateway and primary dns.

At least, with Xtra there are very few problems.

people are continually having probs with orcon and the other hanger ons.

Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't happen.

Xtra were rejecting mail about a week ago due to running out of disk space.

There have been a number of huge problems with Xtra mail in the last 12
months.

Same problem here at home; sometimes it's just really slow, other times
it times out. Occasionally if I just press send/receive again it works
fine, usually it comes right after a few hours.

I don't use their internet or news service so I can't comment there.

Yeah the cleaning lady tripping over the cable scenario seems even more
likely the message is insufficient system storage
