In order to complete improvements to our email services we are scheduling the following downtime:
*** Thursday, December 20 at 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM CET ***
(5:30-7:30 GMT / 12:30-2:30 AM EST / 9:30-11:30 PM Dec 11 PST)
This means that the Runbox email services to be unavailable for up to 2 hours while the work takes place.
The downtime should be outside business hours for most of our customers, but we know you depend on your Runbox email and we will work as efficiently as possible.
Incoming email will be queued on other servers and will be delivered once the system is fully operational again.
What you can do
If you usually check your email during this time, please log on either well before or after that interval on Thursday.

What we are doing
We are completing work started last week, switching to new and powerful database servers. This replacement will improve both the performance and reliability of our email services.
Why it is being done
This is part of our server upgrade plan in which most of our servers are being replaced and/or virtualized.
By replacing or virtualizing our servers we greatly improve the reliability of our email services since we will not only be running better hardware, but will be able to move services across our servers much more easily.
We apologize if the upgrade causes any inconvenience for you and appreciate your understanding!
