Breathe coughs to email upgrade bodge

Mark Fairpo

and ongoing...

Breathe's Customer Care had (16-April) been telling its customers that we cannot have our original @breathemail.net eMail address(es) back, which became defunct in the wake of Breathe mishandling migrating its mailservers from ones Tiscali supplied over to Spider-Networks.

Regular eMail to both @breathemail.net or our later @breathe.com alias upto 4-April 6PM is fetchable from the POP3 server "tiscalipop3.breathe.com"; eMail to @breathemail.net accounts from 19-April 9PM is fetchable from the POP3 server "pophost1.breathe.co.uk"; and eMail to our newly-divorced @breathe.com alias is fetchable from the POP3 server "pophost1.breathe.com", which also holds duplicates of anything from its "Fetch existing IMAP mail" option (upto 4-April). We can now also access its Portal via http://webmail.breathemail.net

Are our eMail address(es) a disposable product of our ISP? Customers appear to have been left hacking our own solution for eMail services, whilst Breathe Networks orchestrated migrations (Spider-Networks.net), Mobile SMS integrations (TanlaSolutions.com), and attracted further ISP brands (Biscit/Maxsurf).

Our redundant Outgoing SMTP mail-server "mailhost.breathemail.net" works inconjunction with our old PAYG dial-up Internet connection (0845-6652056 public username "breathe" with any password) last-updated April-06 in our Breathe Dialer program's Dial Plan v4, which still uses Tiscali according to IP-Lookup. Our new PAYG dial-up Internet connection (0845-0798888) is refusing to authenticate our original private or the old public username & password, despite advertising that "you can use the username breathe with any password."
