Hello bidwell,

Sorry to hear that you were having some issues accessing your email. Unfortunately I do see that there was a problem with the IMAP mail service on that server accepting new connections due to the IMAP authentication daemon having issues.

It looks like the issues did persist for roughly a half-hour, and I apologize for the delay in repair. It seems that POP email connections were still working during this time, which might have caused a delay in our system administration team fully noticing the resolving the problem.

Please let us know if you continue to experience any further issues at all.
