Openwave Messaging have advised us that some customers may have lost emails from the last 6 days, which will now not be in mail folders or inbox.

Ouch.

Its better when ISPs don't try and run email services - there are enough free ones that don't tie you to an ISP.

And BT don't run the email service. The service is provided by an email specialist.

Yikes!!!!!

Openwave Messaging history.

I'm not impressed.

Seems you were right not to be impressed, this was back in March

Openwave/BT e-mail Security Issues

Nasty!

It reads as though BT are unaware of the difference between the security of the email service and the security of the data being migrated from Yahoo to Openwave.

Well the one thing I have become more and more convinced of after the times I have had to deal with BT over the last year or so is that apparently there is no limit on how incompetent BT can be. Every contact I have had with recently has been wrong in one manner or another, wrong, issue, ignore the time you say that you are available to be contacted, claim that I have said an issue is closed and fixed immediately after I have just reported that it is ongoing and queried why nothing has been done, etc, etc. I keep saying it, but the only ISP that I have been with since I have been on the Internet, a long time, that is worse than BT is Bulldog when it appeared on Watchdog. But at the rate.BT is going it won't be long before they overtake Bulldog in the race for my labelling them the worst ISP.

Well I received an email from BT today saying sorry and giving a months free broadband as compensation. I just wanted my emails working so that's a bonus for me.
