Escapee mail down?

[Smoky]

We are moving out of MT and heading south, eventually to Tucson AZ.? Wanted to check mail before hitting the road and got this error message on escapees:

Anyone else having this problem?? Wondering if Rita knocked out their server.? This could have serious implications for us as we are now totally dependent upon Escapees for mail service.

Smoky,

I think the server might be down. I'm getting failures as well.

 

[Smoky]

Dang!

I hope they are OK down there.  I know they were very concerned in Livingston before Rita hit and they shut down their offices on Thursday.  I am just suprised that if there were a server failure it waited until this morning.  After I got mail yesterday afternoon, I had figured they had made it through the storm.  I will say some prayers for all those fine people. 

 

[Jim Dick]

Smoky,

Yes, lets hope everything is OK. I've run into this problem a few times. Usually it comes back up after a while.

 

[Smoky]

OK Jim.  I will check one more time before pulling out in about 2 hours.

They may have loss power.  I was on the Escapees discussion forum yesterday and it was working ok then.

Everything is back up today.  Got an email from escapees.  Their buildings survived despite many big fallen trees.  Some employees cannot get in because of damage at home.  they are, of course, backed up in mail and asking everyone to be patient.  They even asked the well wishing mail and email to stop because they have to read each one.  That email server sure is valuable and I realized how much when it went down.
