If you check the Support site, and look at the log....
Well, they have entries almost daily that 1% aren't getting their email and the reason they give is they had a server down for maintenance.
They aren't admitting that the mail is completely lost during this outage time. I know that for a fact because of how I have mail forwarded to this account and the daily volume of email that I receive.
The thing that I wonder is: How often are they going to have a percentage of their servers down for maintenance. Any downtime is unacceptable with email servers. Microsoft had mirrored email servers in it's first days. Even ccMail had that. I know because I use to run/support the servers.
Is this maintenance something they plan on doing on a regular basis?
There seems to be almost NO information coming from Apple on this.
Do they intend on this being the 'Transition' that makes their stock suffer in the Q4?

What about losing all the email you had? I wrongly assumed the emails on my computer had been pulled from the server and the email on the server was a copy. :confused: My POP account stays on the server and a copy is on my mac.

Another 1%er here....actually, I believe there are many more that are having troubles.

I switched to Apple a few months back and have been praising their OS and products to everyone ever since. As of July 11, I've been getting mud on my face due to the horrific changeover to MobileMe.

For me, on July 11, 2008, I lost (and have yet to fully regain) the ability to update/maintain/add comments to my iWeb website, which is based on my Fathers current fight with cancer. As one might understand, NO downtime is acceptable, let alone over 2 weeks now. Website creation is a first for me and the design is nothing groundbreaking but the content is of the utmost importance...and urgency.

In regards to my MobileMe email: I believe it was fully functional for the first week following July 11, then my iWeb temporarily, for about 3 days, became available, then my ability to send MobileMe email ceased (and have still not regained service as of today, July 26)....and, I am not receiving all emails sent either.

Apple has really really really screwed up on this one. This is totally, absolutely and completely unacceptable. I am beyond mad at this point. I think its best if I move away from the keyboard for now....
