We experienced the same database problem we had the other day. We have now installed the fix for this that we’ve been testing for the last few days. This now appears to have resolved the problem. We apologise for the delay in acccessing your mail during the last few minutes.
We are often asked “What’s next?” Here’s our current short-term priorities with regards to web interface features (this does not include non-web interface features, or bug fixing, or business development priorities):
We had an outage on our frontend server today caused by a database problem. Our engineers were automatically paged by the system and a server reboot resolved the problem. We are currently investigating the source of the database problem to ensure that it does not re-occur. We apologise for the delay in accessing your mail during this time.
Summary: Media coverage: Free e-mail anyone?
The Star is Malaysia’s largest English-language newspaper, and InTech is their very popular twice-weekly tech section. Following a recent interview with Jeremy in Malaysia, The Star has published an article titled Free e-mail anyone?.
For the last few minutes, when you logged in through the web interface your session may have expired immediately due to a problem with the webservers. This impacted new web sessions on one server, due to a configuration error. The error is now resolved, and the forum discussion is here. We apologise for any inconvenience during this time.
Summary: FastMail Wiki added to create a user-managed knowledge base.
To enhance user interaction further, we’ve created the FastMail Wiki. A WikiWikiWeb is a site where everyone can collaborate on the content. Basically, if you see a spelling error and would like to correct it, or you would like to add some content, you can!
We would like to make this a central place where features can be suggested and then finetuned by all users. Hopefully it will also relieve some of the feature request clutter that is apparent in the forum. Users can also submit examples of working Sieve code, or provide tutorials and walkthroughs for the service. If you’d like to see other categories, go ahead and add them!
Now go have a look at how to use the Wiki and experiment!
Earlier today the proxy services were not available due to an outage. If you use any of the proxy services to connect to FastMail using your email client (such as smtp.proxy.fastmail.fm or imap.proxy.fastmail.fm) you may have been unable to connect. The web interface was still available.
The problem has now been resolved. The proxy services did not come back up correct during the reboot earlier today. We’ve put measures in place to ensure this problem will not return when another reboot is necessary.
For those who like playing with ideas and screen mockups, have a look at this forum thread.
