Service window postponed – Due diligence..

Posted on: June 23rd, 2023 by

Last week we announced a service window that was supposed to start and be in session about now.

Posted on: January 14th, 2023 by

The Kolab Now main page https://kolabnow.com/ and all other services (Support, blog and knowledge base) were available with no issues for these same users.

The issue lasted until approximately 08:04:22 UTC, and was caused by a db server in one of the clusters being stuck in a large operation. The issue caused troubles with the login procedure, but had no impact on the mail flow. No mail was lost or delayed during the incident.
