Problem with IMAP

There is currently a problem with IMAP access. We’re looking into the cause of the problem.
The web interface is still working.

UPDATE
Should be fixed now.

blog and wiki going down for a few hours next weekend

The server running our blog and wiki services is being moved to a new datacentre next weekend:

When: Sunday, April 3, 11:00PM EST (Monday, April 4, 4:00AM GMT)
Expected downtime: 2-4 hours, 6 hours maximum

This only affects the wiki and blog services (including this status page). The email and file server services will not be affected – most users shouldn’t even notice the outage!

update: get the date right this time!

Frontend2 rebooting

Our machine frontend2 has crashed and is currently being rebooted.

This affects /beta/ and some IMAP and SMTP connections. Any new
connections should load balance automatically to a different box.

/beta/ will be unavailable for the duration of the reboot.

UPDATE: machine is back up, and we’re looking into the cause of
the problem.

short outage a few hours ago

Apologies for not posting this sooner. There was a short outage on server4 for about 5 minutes at around 1am East Coast USA time.

The issue is now resolved.
