Gandi Outage on Multiple Services
status.gandi.net
status.gandi.net
Every company has an outage now and then, and sometimes a bad one.
But, it has now been 30 hours since I had access to my email. The last update was 15 hours ago. I don't like the way this has been handled.
Mar 08 17:36:55 ubuntu-vm systemd[1]: Started fetchmail.service - LSB: init-Script for system wide fetchmail daemon.
Mar 09 00:41:55 ubuntu-vm fetchmail[1603]: timeout after 300 seconds waiting for server mail.gandi.net.

At least they spell out IMAP/POO/Webmail is still down.

EDIT: All times are UTC
The increased costs of mailboxes was already putting pressure on me to move but an outage of this length is the nail in the coffin.
I was just able to access both IMAP and Roundcube (webmail.eu.com), and my archive folder with years of folder does not exist at the moment.
I see only 2 emails in the inbox, nothing else. There are no other mailbox folders besides from inbox either. All gone.
Some deliveries will be retried, but after 30+ hours some will have permanently failed.
EDIT: I don't have visibility for emails not forwarded during the initial outage so nothing before 07:30 UTC yesterday.
So far my registrar is Gandi (don't have enough reason to change it), DNS server is CloudFlare, websites are GH pages and mails will be FastMail so it seems.
According to their status page it's:
"Service are back to normal to the majority of customers we continue to work so there is no impact for any customers"
I beg to differ.
EDIT: yes, it looks like it is not possible to disable "transfer lock". Shame on you Gandi, but you know no shame.
This is unacceptable - this is starting to impact interviews for jobs this week (I've rescheduled one for today just in case).
