Hi all... it seems as though I am part of the 1% that have not had their mail working for 4 days now. When I say its not working I mean that I cannot access it from the mail.app or from www.me.com or from my iPhone. Is anyone else in the same boat as me??? This is pretty piss poor from apple... and if I try and call them they just tell me to email mobileme support... I HAVE NO EMAIL!!! It is pretty frustrating and I really hope they get it back up soon.... 4 continous days is unacceptable for a paid service.

Digg - MobileMe Mail down...day 4 and counting

or just google it.... there are plenty of people venting on the apple support forums too.

I'm annoyed with this service lately. I spent a whole day recently unable to send/receive or even find old emails.

This morning I had to send condolences to someone overseas. It gave me a service error each time I tried to send. Turns out it was actually sending the email, the person has now got condolence email 5 times

Sort it out Apple!

I am quite lucky as my MobileMe mail hasn't stopped working so I must be outside the 1% apple claims that are affected.

mines perfect.
do you have the right settings?



on mac:
MobileMe

Now the service has completely gone down again.

Yeh my settings are fine... keep in mind that this is a known problem and is affecting my mail across all three platform. ie mail.app, MobileMe and the iPhone

Hmmm,

Email
1. Mobileme will not accept emails automatically forwarded from my personal .com.au domain.
2. Try autoforwarding my emails from .com.au domain to my other .com domain, and then auto forward these to me.com. This worked....for a while
3. Now me.com seems to have stopped working and getting bounced email from 5 days ago.

Calendar
1. Cant share a calendar across accounts using mobile me family pack. Apparently you have to log in to the same account (and thus share keychains, email etc).
2. I wanted to be able to fully share a calendar (ie all users can read and write to it), across mobile me accounts and assumed the family pack would do this. It wont.
3. Seems I've got to either set up Leopard server, or set up a davcal server on my own domain, or
4. Use some bodgy lan synching, or get others to intermittently login into my me.com account to synch calendars.

Wont bore you with pathetic treatment at hands of voda direct deals getting the handsets in first place (still waiting on my wife's one despite her pre-registering and being with voda since 1826).

Maybe Mobileme doesn't work in Australia, and the "US" in the "exchange for the rest of US" refers to a country rather than a group of people

I was unable to access MobileMe for a couple of hours this morning but it seems to be back up now...

no problems here since it started.

It's coming up to Tuesday in the US, and we all know that most major software releases etc, occur on Tuesday, so maybe Apple is preparing to release something

This is shitting me.

I've got a very very very very important email that I need access to right now, I brought .mac as a premium service and it's been nothing but shit the last few weeks.

This is a significant problem for me right now and will have significant financial impact on me in the future because I cannot access a single email... very very very very very f'ing annoyed at Apple at the moment.

EDIT - to clarify, I'm just trying to access from mail.app and the web on my MacBook Air...

Just got home and tried checking my Mail, and exclamation marks in in my inbox Cannot access my email either !!

same for me - i guess with so many folk on me dot com that 1% is now a significant number.
i guess for mission critical e,ails we have all learnt to use gmail or something similar.

surely not another apology email :-(
three in 2 weeks

I'll have to throw my hat into the ring this time around. It stopped working for me from about 5 or 6pm today. In other words, the iPhone, my Mail.app and the webmail at me.com are no go.

Having said that I have been with mac.com since about 2005 (maybe earlier) and the number of times I have encountered this are minimal. This is probably the first time this year and no more than 2 or 3 in the last year. Methinks it is unfortunate growing pains.
