No access to Xtra email or webmail since around nine this morning. As
usual, nothing on their online status report (now known as Service
Update). After waiting twenty minutes on the phone for one of their
customer "service" reps I'm told, yes, they are having problems.

So why the hell don't they update their so-called status report and
their helpline message. Suppose that would be asking too much of a
company that doesn't like to admit that it's having any problems.

Don't think so. I could send email and I could access their website
and other websites - which is why I knew about their online Service
Update.

Seems like they've finally fixed the email problem - it took them over
three hours - but their webmail service is still down.

I can access webmail. Is it giving you an error message after you try to
login, or is it failing to load altogether. I am not using xtra as my isp to
connect.

I am using Xtra to attempt to connect and I get an error window if I
try the webmail link at the top of the Yahoo/Xtra homepage and the
same error window if I use the direct link I have on my desktop.

However, the pop3 server seems to be working now.

Both email and webmail are working fine now. Must have been a regional
thing (Northland).

Wait for 6 months time when it's all being run out of Yahoo!'s data
centre in Aussie.
