I've already suggested that!

Of course, there are more than a dozen statements from '05-'06 where PN were adamant that there was no lack of investment in the network or equipment, quite the opposite. Now let me quote you something much more recent:

28 March 2007:
------------------------
I have personally reviewed and approved the selection of the equipment
that we are in the process of upgrading to. I have full confidence in the
team that have been involved to date with the current upgrade and am
confident that we will be able to deliver this with no impact to our
customers.

If we do deliver successfully, I hope that you will be the first to
congratulate us. If we fail to deliver, I'll be the first on here to
apologise.

Regards,
Phil Webb
Network Services Director

I wonder if Mr Webb will be making an appearance on the board soon.

Wasn't that the mail storage platform?

The webmail platform is different.

That works

>Wasn't that the mail storage platform?

Yes it was.

>The webmail platform is different.

I didn't know that. Thanks for correcting me. Apologies to Mr Webb and his family for any increase in tension I might have caused with my earlier post. There won't be any need to make an appearance in front of the committee. Thank you.

Could one not argue that PN have used a non standard version of the supplied software, not recommended by the authors/vendors.

Not really - unless the flaw was specifically in those changes - but if it was I bet the chances of proving so in a court would be miniscule ...

IANAL however ...

Does the webmail platform not have access to the email platform, in order to retrieve emails to view via the webmail platform?.

Yes, but the replacement equipment to which he refers was for the mail storage platform.

Isn't the fact that the storage platform has stood up to the onslaught of spam which it has reliably delivered to our in-boxes (dammit!), proof that his assertion was correct?

Edit:

If you search the entire http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=plusnet&Number=2955315 topic there is not a single reference to webmail.
