Mail Platform Changes - 26th/27th May

[Justin]

As sent by F2S:

We would like to give our customers advance notice of planned maintenance work on our webmail platform.

A recent review of freedom2surf’s mail platform has highlighted the need to improve both the platform and its architecture. Work on this equipment will start on Tuesday the 26th May and will be completed on Wednesday 27th May. At some point during this time customers will temporarily lose access to their mailbox; dependant on mailbox size, this temporary loss of mailbox access may occur for a period of anything up to 2 hours. Normal access to all mail services should resume on Thursday 28th May.

Any new emails received during this maintenance should be delivered as per normal. We will provide a further update when the maintenance work is completed.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Yours faithfully

The freedom2surf Broadband Team

I presume this means work is happening on the IMAP servers, the POP3 servers or something? Or is the version of Webmail being upgraded? Very vague notice and I'm guessing it means the mail platform is broke rather than webmail, seeing as webmail is just an interface to an IMAP server rather than a platform itself.
