We’ve just discovered that the problem below that affected signups for about 12 hours also affected some other areas of FastMail.
Certain files that were uploaded to file storage would have “disappeared” after some random interval. Fortunately these files are still in our file storage system, and we’re working on retrieving them and inserting them back into users files storage area. We’ll be emailing affected users.
Some updates on the personalities and signatures screens would have failed. Unfortunately these changes would not have been saved and cannot be recovered. Fortunately it should be reasonably easy for most users to re-apply these changes.
Again these problems have definitely been fixed and should not be occuring any more.
UPDATE by brong: I’ve posted a status update on the restore process as well as the steps I’m taking over on the forum at: http://www.emaildiscussions.com/showpost.php?p=448459&postcount=7 – I’ll keep updating that thread as I go.
