The email servers are being upgraded over the weekend starting late on Friday evening to a pair of faster mirrored servers. This won’t affect everyone but during the course of this migration email will appear to have disappeared from in-boxes but this isn’t any cause for concern and is merely a side-effect of the migration process.
No email will be lost; it’s just the final synching process needed to improve the mail-servers for everyone. During the course of the weekend the email should fully re-appear.
New email will be continue to be delivered straight away – older emails will be restored as the sync process progresses. Any security certificate error messages can be safely ignored for the duration of this migration. These will disappear after both servers are finally fully synced
thos is work is completed if there are any issues with your mail please contact support via the normal routes ASAP.

New email will be delivered instantly – older emails will be restored as the sync process progresses. Any security certificate error messages can be safely ignored for the duration of this migration. These will disappear after both servers are fully synced and updated.
We will confirm when this process has completed.

Our in rack UPS in our Harbour Exchange PoP is showing a possible battery failure. We have a replacement batteries and will be replacing these tomorrow (23/09). These can be swapped without removing power. However with any activity there is a small risk of disruption to services connected to this rack
UPDATE: It appears there may be a more serious issue with the UPS than failed batteries. A short time ago we lost all Power in our HEX PoP which caused a period of Network instability
We believe that all Network access with the exception of services directly connected to HEX is now up. We are working on HEX to bring service back asap
UPDATE 13:50 The Data centre have located a trip has failed which has lead to no Power being available to our rack. The Data Centre technicians are working to restore power to us as a priority. We expect a further update very shortly
