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.

Past Incidents

24th February 2024

Delays in mail forwarding to Google

Google is once again rate-limiting messages forwarded from our MX servers. We're working to resolve this and expect the backlog to be cleared over the next several hours.

As a temporary workaround, customers can route an Opalstack mailbox to their forwarding email address and then use that mailbox as a POP3 account in their Gmail settings.

We will update this post when the backlog of forwarded messages is cleared.

  • The bcklog of deferred mail is now clear.

    Delays in mail forwarding to Google

    Google had rate-limited 2 of our forwarding MX servers over the weekend resulting in forwarding delays for some users who forward mail to Gmail.

    We've corrected the cause of the rate limit and expect all pending mail to be delivered over the next several hours.

  • All of the pending forwarded mail has been delivered.
