No emails in/out via Plusnet since yesterday evening

Since yesterday evening, no emails in or out via Plusnet to my home devices. 
These are MacBook (ageing), iPad and iPhone, all with software fully updated.
Incoming Mail is present on the Plusnet webmail server.
When I go to check email on a device, I get the message “Connecring . .” for a while, then it reverts to “Updated just now”, but with none of the mails downloaded.

Any suggestions for solving this problem will be gratefully received.

Tony

@tonyhet Is your email account under the MAAF brand? - there is a known problem, if so.

Re: No emails in/out via Plusnet since yesterday evening

It could be just the known issued with Apple's email clients.  Would be wise to look at Apple's forums on the subject.  There have been various reports of issues with iOS 18.2 and 18.3 though I have not encountered them myself.

Unloading the email application (swipe it up and off the screen) and restarting it have been known to fix things.

John - if MAAF is Madasafish, then yes. Account set up years back with Globalnet, became Madasafish etc.

Can you point me towards solution for the known problem ?

@tonyhet - see @Townman 's response directly above your post, for instance, but  there are a number of topics referencing this issue on this board.

MAAF resolution is still in-flight, some report it working again.  DNS changes need to promulgate all of the DNS server instances.

Both madasafish.com and www.madasafish.com need to update everywhere.

Just ran some more tests - can connect over PN network to the MAAF website (www.madasafish.com) but not when connected over EE mobile.

Looks as though the DNS promulgation is still a work in progress.

Thanks Townman. “Should be sorted in DNS” was the first reaction at local IT shop. Hopefully the man there who has some knowledge of my setup will be able to look further on Monday.

Thanks jab1. Have checked out some of relevant topics on this board. Most above my skill level, though will raise a ticket with Madasafish direct (assuming I can access them still), if only to keep prodding them.

Re: No emails in/out via Plusnet since yesterday evening

Now that we know that the MAAF issue is resolved, on the iPhone / iPad I would unload the mail application (swipe it up off the screen) and restart it.

That application is notorious for getting itself in a pickle!

What version of iOS are you running?

Re: No emails in/out via Plusnet since yesterday evening

Had been using wife’s iPad to tell friend about this problem. Then went back to own iPad and discovered a whole set of emails had been downloaded !

So basically problem solved - much relief.

ipad and phone both run 18.3 software, but just seen 18.3.1 now awaiting download on both, so will get that done soonest.

 

Plan to close the thread once 18.3.1 once that done.

Many many thanks for your quick and helpful responses.

Tony
