Scheduled DE IMAP/POP3 email server downtime

On 24 September 2026 at between 07:00 am and 10:00 am UTC our network team will be relocating one of our mailbox storage servers to a new location within the data center.

The server will be offline during the relocation. As a result, some customer mailboxes will be unavailable for up to 3 hours during the relocation. Affected customers will be notified directly via email.

Affected customers will not be able to check their email for affected mailboxes during the relocation.

No incoming mail will be lost during the relocation. Mail that arrives during the relocation will be deferred and delivered once connectivity to the mail server is restored.

Email forwarding and SMTP services will not be affected, however messages sent via SMTP during the relocation will not be stored as sent mail in IMAP folders on the server.

Customer websites will not be affected by the relocation.

We realize that the timing of this relocation may not be ideal. Customer who would like to have their mailboxes migrated to a different server in advance of the server relocation should contact the Opalstack support team to make the necessary arrangements.

We'll update our status page at http://status.opalstack.com/ at the beginning of the maintenance window. To be informed of system status updates automatically please subscribe at https://status.opalstack.com/subscribe.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this maintenance then please email our support team and someone from our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Web: San Francisco Opal3 offline

Opal3 was offline.

  • There have been no further problems since the last update.

  • As of 2020-01-12 22:20 UTC all Opal3 shell user home directories, PostgreSQL databases, and related control panel data have been restored.

    All customer sites are back online and the server is operating normally at this time. We'll continue to monitor.

    We were not able to recover shell user passwords, so Opal3 customers will need to reset their shell user passwords via the control panel. Instructions are available in our documentation: Changing a Shell User's Password

  • At approximately 17:40 UTC (9:40 AM Pacific) on 12 January 2020 we ran a live test of our upcoming migration tool on opal3, our shared hosting server in San Francisco.

    A serious bug in the migration tool resulted in the loss of all customer home directories and PostgreSQL databases on opal3.

    We're presently restoring opal3 from the most recent backup which was completed at 00:14 AM, about 7.5 hours prior to the incident.

    We'll update this incident with more information when the restoration is complete.
