imap.eecs, the EECS IMAP mailserver, unexpectedly went offline this afternoon shortly after 1:30pm. Staff are investigating the matter, but were unable to rectify the situation remotely, and will need to handle it at the console.

Mail service is expected to resume as normal, with no loss of email, sometime later this evening.

The IMAP server was hung again today from approx. 1345 until it was rebooted at 1900.

This seems to be the same problem as on Friday. IDSG plans to put in a trouble call on Monday.
