As many of you are well aware, there have been a number of email issues affecting customers this week.  We understand that you rely on our email service, and we take that responsibility seriously.  We apologize to customers who have experienced intermittent issues over the last several days and wanted to give you a quick update.

Here are some of the reported issues and the current status.  If you are experiencing issues outside of these, please know that we are working diligently to help resolve these.  We appreciate your patience and will share additional updates as they become available.

“Too Many Hops” bounce back emails

Some customers reported a bounce back with this message last week.  This issue is resolved.  No additional action is required on your part if you received this bounce back.

Receipt of spam emails

Some customers reported an increase in spam emails.  This is the result of changes to our spam filtering process.  We have made changes and will continue to refine this.

Bounce backs

Last week, a large number of customers received bounce back emails.  If you had received a bounce back, please re-send the affected email.

The issues above have resulted in much higher than average wait times in our customer service center.   We are updating our recorded message about the issues so you do not have to wait on hold.  Please also remember that you may open a ticket at any time through your Network Solutions account manager.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

      What about mentioning that for periods your site has been completely down and ALL mail services could not be accessed… send or receive.

      If you shut down your system for upgrades, maintenance or whatever LET YOUR CUSTOMERS KNOW IN ADVANCE so they don’t spend hours thinking that the problem might be on their end.

      Yes – absolutely.

      Guys…. this is just another nail in the coffin that contains the body of my 12 year relationship with Network Solutions.

      I just had a 1.5 hour delay receiving a message and saw 3 hour delays yesterday as well. Is no one else experiencing these issues?

    • John

      60 plus users all with intermittent issues. Inbound mail was spotty yesterday with up to 6 hours in latency. We are moving our users to another e-mail service. Very dissatisfied with NSmail’s lack of support and service. Most mail users need 99% uptime. A problem of this magnitude with such a lackluster response is not acceptable.

      We have been experiencing the same. It’s a shame that it is taking this long to resolve these issues.

    • Linda

      Totally agree!

    • Melissa

      I had over 2,000 of the same emails in my inbox when I got to work on Monday. Any emails since Friday keep duplicating over and over in my inbox. I deleted all of them and have 2,300 of the same emails again. I have to use the online email instead of Outlook which is really frustrating. Please fix this!

      is there ever anything on the internet involving positive information from network solutions? will you guys EVER turn this around??? I’m wasting sooo much time simply trying to disable my business profile – your systems show updates and seem to modify nameserver changes very quickly…but its too spotty to reliably test if my fwd domain is working…AND THE DEAL with email is STILL ridiculous – just as the previous 8 commented.

      This is false. The NS issues are not resolved. When will you fix this error ”

      Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)”? Why can’t you just realize that you made some terrible changes and restore your servers back to at least a month ago?

      We have been experiencing problems just like have been detailed by many others in this post and the previous few about email issues. We have called multiple times, spending hours and hours both on hold and on the phone with reps who can’t seem to fix the problem. It started just prior to Sept. 24th for us. We depend on email to receive photos and copy for our publication. The last month has been a nightmare. We have not received important information, not been able to contact people we need to contact. Deadline days have been horrible – having to call people to re-send things we did not receive – to be told that they had been trying for hours and their messages kept bouncing back to them. After many years with NS, we are about ready to give up and leave. We can’t stay with an unreliable service much longer. We’ve probably stayed too long as it is – but moving our website, store and email is going to be a real hassle. I can’t believe such a large company has let these issues continue on for so long with no real answers or idea of when it might be fixed.
