502924 2006-11-29 08:44:00 Recently on doing Send and Recieve (on OE) i sometime find files arriving which are date and time stamped as pre emails which were already there. I am with xtra, and two days ago an email arrived, dated as recieved a week earlier.
Beats me Gazzasm

502926 2006-11-29 17:39:00 I agree there are problems on Xtra - I sent myself an email a few days ago. It only arrived late last night! R.M. (561)
502927 2006-11-29 20:03:00 I've also had unexplained delays recently on Xtra - not days, but several hours late.
The most recent was last night - timed at 6.30 & arrived at 11p.m. Meanwhile others were immediate, including those from the same sender..

502928 2006-11-29 20:21:00 Same here, but it also involved a Paradise email adress as the sender, which was sent to several addresses of mine, only one being Xtra. The others were web-based so Xtra was not involved, yet all were many hours late.

Carrier pigeons exhausted perhaps?

502929 2006-11-29 22:33:00 Just happened to me too. Sending from Yahoo to Xtra. Sent one (notice for the local newsletter) at the last minute on a Monday evening and it got there mid-morning the next day - which was too late.

Maybe Xtra will unleash its email system.

I can’t say we have had this problem.

502931 2006-11-29 22:49:00 It'd be a rare circumstance that emails arrive more than a few days late. Usually after a max of four days the message will fail altogether and the sender will receive a bounce notification. Greg (193)
502932 2006-11-30 03:41:00 It'd be a rare circumstance that emails arrive more than a few days late. Well I must be special then :) Up to about a week ago we were getting emails on our Slingshot account up to 10 days after they were sent. This didn't make wifey very happy because she was trying to sell stuff on Trademe :)

Emails that were sent to both my Slingshot account and my domain account at the same time were arriving as much as a week apart! :D

The problem seems to have been corrected (I hope).
