Sounds like some super weird, extremely local issue. And yes, I’ve been using it as main mail account for (after checking) almost 9 years now, so that includes that period.

> extremely local issue.

I don't think so. They posted on twitter about it as a genera purpose outage.

Anyway. I'm glad they exist and I'm glad you've found value in them. I just couldn't continue paying for an email provider I could never access.

A one-year general purpose outage? Do you have a link?

Not an entire year. It was 2-3 day outages, weekly, for quite a while. I've been trying to find the tweets, but as Elon took away tweet searching it's been a challenge to go that far back

edit I remember they were open about experiencing a denial of service attack over several weeks.
