Some systems are experiencing issues
Maintenance
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.

Email: USA US webmail performance issues

We're aware that the US webmail server has been having intermittent timeout issues, particularly during US business hours.

We're working to resolve this but we expect that it will take at least a couple of weeks. Our recommended workaround in the interim is to use a desktop mail client or to run your own webmail server separately from our managed webmail instance.

Desktop email client configuration info is available in our user guide at: Email Client Configuration

If you'd like to run your own webmail server setup instructions are available at: HOWTO run your own Roundcube webmail server on Opalstack

  • We've seen no further performance issues on the US webmail system since implementing the new proxy, so we consider this issue to be resolved.

  • We've deployed a new IMAP proxy on the US webmail server and the performance seems much better at this time. We'll continue to monitor.
