UPDATE - 03:38 AM EST - 25/03/2020

Our operations team has ended the maintenance on Basic/Advanced Email by enabling all of the mailstores.

A small number of accounts will still not have webmail or email client access as we prepare for another batch migration to be done during a lull period.


UPDATE - 03:15 AM EST - 25/03/2020

The maintenance is nearing completion. Currently 4 of the 5 mailstores have been enabled again and we are awaiting storage load to drop before the 5th mailstore is enabled.

At this time, only users on the still disabled mailstore are expected to be completely unable to utilize their email. Users from the other 4 mailstores which were enabled will still see degraded performance at this time.

We will continue to update, as updates become available. We thank you for your patience.
