Hi all,

Has anyone noticed erratic behaviour with Telstra Bigpond Mail recently.
Over the last week or so (I'm not sure exactly when I first noticed it) I
seem to be getting a lot of mail error messages. The message I get (I run
Outlook Express) when I "get info" from the error log is:

Error

Could not retrieve mail from the account "Neil Houghton".

Explanation

The server returned the following error

local error; please try again later (AU).

Error: 7002

The error seems to be short term since I have OE set to check for mail every
10 mins and I don't get a string of consecutive errors. Also often if I run
send and receive immediately after an error it will run OK, though sometimes
it takes two or three tries.

>From the error message it would seem that the problem is at Telstra's end?
But as I say, the problem is quite frequent now whereas up until a week or
so ago I never (or almost never that I remember) saw it.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

400MHz Ti G4 Powerbook
OS 9.1
Outlook Express v5.02
Telstra Bigpond dial-up using nation-wide 0198308888 #

TIA
