Opalstack System Status

On 20 August 2026 between 11:00am and 4:00pm PDT (UTC-7) our data center team will be upgrading the racks that host the following servers:

opal3.opalstack.com
opal8.opalstack.com

During the 5-hour maintenance window, network connectivity to the affected servers will be interrupted for up to 1 hour during which websites and other services hosted on the servers will be unavailable.

Email and DNS services will not be affected.

The hosting control panel will remain online, but will be unable to apply changes to your services until connectivity to the server is restored.

Affected customers who would like have their services relocated to a different server prior to 20 August 2026 should contact the Opalstack support team to make the necessary arrangements.

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.
