Hillside Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 The MT status page shows issues with problems and/or maintenance on all platforms except voicemail. I noticed early today that some expected emails had not arrived, and the MT site confirms that MT's email service provider is carrying out maintenance until 2nd June to improve reliability. In the meantime I can log on to email via webmail and see messages in my inbox, however these messages do not show in the inbox on either my Mac OS or iOS apps? I guess that MT telephone support is now closed until Tuesday, does anyone have any idea how I can get the emails on their IMAP server to be synced to my devices as normal?

trmpton Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I had "emergency calls only" for about an hour from 14:00 today. Eventually fixed itself after switching to and from airplane mode a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptar Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 The main issue with MT is that they are provincial rank amateurs pretending to play big boy international communications. Like when they launched manx.net email 20 years ago and it wasn't fit for purpose then, let alone 2 decades later with the mega upgrades along the way. Or the fact that they are can't keep reliable DNS running for a consistent period of time so that half of the web doesn't disappear at random times. Or the world leading launch of 3G that they dined out on for years, even though there were only 5 handsets live and, by the time the rest of us got access to it, the only country we beat in the end was Zimbabwe, and only just. But, yeah, world leading IT and comms right here on the IOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptar Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Although, credit where it is due, I will say that the fibre is mega and is the first time ever that they have under promised and over delivered. And the engineers that fitted it were spot on and went above and beyond on the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why anyone still bothers with their email service. I wonder why they still bother running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that positive worldwide press coverage and it was all a blag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hassle of changing your email address, now to something hard to explain to people like Fred.bloggs_125@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensible thing is to make the switch but to carry on still checking the old mail box. Or set up forwarding. If you are running a business then the chances are that you've got your own domain. In which case it's trivial to switch the underlying service provider. Either to 365 or Gmail probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the normal SMS/Text service was definitely down last Thursday evening too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
