POP3/IMAP login - what are BT doing?

I have several BT sub-account addresses. Some of them I access via POP3, a couple of others via IMAP using Thunderbird.
I've had this set up for years. The last couple of days in particular it gets to evening and both clients struggle with failed logins. I'm on the BT Yahoo platform and don't appear to have any problem cross-checking by logging in to webmail.
A Yahoo.co.uk acccount is also fine via POP3.
So what's going on?
Solved!

A possible explanation why the yahoo account behaves Ok and BT Yahoo does not is Critical Path are involved in the BT case. This needs further investigation.
mail.btinternet.com resolves to mail.btinternet.bt.lon5.cpcloud.co.uk [65.20.0.43]
pop.mail.yahoo.com resolves to pop-secure-legacy.mail.gm0.yahoodns.net [188.125.69.44]
What we don't know is what interaction there is between cpc and yahoo, what redirections take place on the servers and where the authentication (or failure of) takes place.
Nor do we know why BT are making such a pig's ear of a fundamental system that so many others appear to do fairly well. And I guess I don't know why I'm still using them except for the history of my email address arising from dial-up days.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
Thanks for a feed back.

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
(plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
- You call it rubbish
- The world calls it physics
You are totally wrong. Please go back to School.
o You can deny physics
- but that will not change reality.
You can go to School but that wont change reality.
o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
- I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
- I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
- But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
Yeah because you were there. Are you having some kind of relationship with the company? I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations. The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product.
This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber. This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
For your problem:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
# If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

Java on Chrome - what are you doing Oracle?

Google have made clear for a long time that the NPAPI support in Chrome will be switched off, and that plugins using NPAPI should move to PPAPI.
What is being done to migrate the Java plugin?
Chrome has by far the biggest user base, and as of update 42 (on Windows - much earlier on Linux) NPAPI is no longer supported. Which means no more Java.
Adobe has already updated the Flash plugin. What are you doing Oracle?

Once oracle in a forms forum suggested they had a way to launch java code from the web directly to java
installed on the client and not using a browser plugin. But they are cagey like let's wait and see if the customers
end up with no way to run applets for a few months and if so then we could assign some developers to this. Whereas from
the customer point of view, the very first minute that personnel cannot run mission critical applets is a serious problem
for which the customer feels they should come up with a plan to deal with it now. Now wait until it happens.
However web start or similar depends on java being installed on the client.
This was an interesting article:
Android is the new Win32, the new Java and the new Flash
Marketing stuff but it points out an idea of using Android Runtime for Chrome” (ARC).
There's many other potential solutions possible such as getting the firefox source now that can run the jre plugin
and keeping it for later :-) Or taking the firefox source that won't run the plugin in the future and fixing it. Or some
other browser source that can run the plugin. This is something we customers can do. It is certainly something Oracle
can do but they have to have the think ahead mindset.

What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard. Have you heard of anyone making a patch for LION?

What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard when the Os is Lion?

It is up to the publishers of games to accommodate their software to Lion.
Blizzard, publisher of StarCraft, WarCraft, and Diablo, has posted a statement about that -
Blizzard Support
Although they were able to create patches to allow the use of their (OS 9) games in OS X up through Snow Leopard, apparently from their perspective it is not possible to patch those games for Lion.

Whoops! What are you doing here?
Did you make a left at that last URL instead of a right? No problem. Unless you want us to deal you in, here are some tips to get you back on your way:
If you typed in the address, check your spelling. Could just be a typo.
If you’ve found an issue with one of our websites, we’d appreciate it if you could report the problem in Bugzilla, our bug tracker. One of our developers will take a look at it as soon as possible.
If you followed a link, it’s probably broken.
If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, start at mozilla.org.
It's not broken it's not letting me do what I want too and I am very upset and I want in on this project that you are trying to guide me away from!!!!! I did not find this website by searching or typing i found it by using my tools.

Are you trying to access the Mozilla website? What page in specific is causing this to happen?
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
Please report this bug to the development team at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Bugzilla], so that they can repair the issue as soon as possible.

The bookmarks created on my new MacBook are showing on my wife's MacBook. We are using two different Apple ID's. What are we doing wrong?

My wife has had her MacBook for about a year. She was originally using Apple ID we can call #1. She later created and began using Apple ID #2. I just got a MacBook and began using Apple ID #1. When I set up my bookmarks in Safari,what I thought were her old bookmarks were there. When I deleted them, while we were on two separate Apple IDs, I deleted hers. (Fortunately, I backed them up first.) Now when I add bookmarks they show on her separate Apple ID. I checked and it seems that she is signed out and the old ID has even been deleted as an option on her Mac. Because of my work we need to keep these things separate. What are we missing?

In System Preferences>iCloud if you click Account Details do you each see your own unique Apple ID?

ICloud account reset by Apple. Lost my notes. - Aka: Apple, what are you doing to your customers?

Hi.
I am very disappointed. I connected my iPhone two days ago and I discovered my notes weren't there anymore.
Ok, I thought, I have a backup. But nope, there was a single backup dated: Today.
No old notes.
I called Apple and they told me there was nothing to do. I went to iCloud and my account disappeared. There was a box saying 'Connect a device to start using iCloud'.
What?
I called Apple again. I'm using iCloud as a backup for my notes since February, but unfortunately I didn't know notes were so risky to handle.. I didn't loose anything but those.. but they were really, really important! They just say to me to control my iCloud account on my Mac. It was off.
What?
I never turned it off, madam, I say. She keeps telling me she can't do anything. I then connect my Mac on her suggestion and.. voilà, suddendly also my iPhone gets back into the iCloud account. I ask: okay, if my iphone was connected, why iCloud wasn't showing it before like it has always been doing?
Why iCloud was asking me to add a device and then when I add one suddendly every device I had in iCloud appears again back on their place?
She doesn't know. She can't help me anymore further.
I say I want to talk to a higher level but she says she's the highest.
I want to know why my iCloud account has been reset, madam. Apple must give me an answer for this.
She said she's gonna talk with some engineer and let me know.
No answer so far.
Is there a way to access the iCloud SERVER backup [not mine on my computer] of the 3rd of April through some Apple super-engineer or super-boss or superwhatever and have the notes Apple DID loose?
Or I should just call a lawyer and find the way to force Apple do it before that backup is overwritten?

Unfortunately, Apple will not help.
I have attempted to get resolution to my icloud problems and they just give me the runaround that their engineers are investigating.
They probably dont know how to fix icloud and are just stringing us along!
Probably the worst service i've ever gotten!
Icloud is a failure, which Apple is unable to fix!

Russian Government and Customer Data--Privacy Legislation, what are you doing about this?

Apparently the Russian government recently accelerated legislation that will require personal data on Russian citizens to be stored in Russia. What is Oracle Eloqua or your company's feedback on how your are planning to respond to this or how other customers are responding. As SaaS, I don’t believe we have a way to store Russian contacts in Eloqua in Russia. See the basics of the legislation below.
Federal Law No. 242-FZ "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation for Clarification of the Procedure of Personal Data Processing in Information and Telecommunication Networks" (the "Federal Law No. 242") was adopted on 21 July 2014.
Federal Law No. 242 introduces the following changes:
to Federal Law No. 152-FZ "On personal data" dated 27 July 2006 (as amended) by establishing localization requirement for personal data processing; and
to Federal Law No. 149-FZ "On information, information technologies and protection of information" dated 27 July 2006 (as amended) by establishing procedure for blocking access to information resources on which unlawful processing of personal data takes place.
Federal Law No. 242 comes into force on 1 September 2016. The acceleration of the entry into force and change of the effective date of the Federal Law No. 242 to 1 January 2015 is however proposed by a draft law which was submitted to the State Duma (lower chamber of the Russian Parliament) on 1 September 2014. In order to become a law, the draft amendments shall be adopted through the usual law-making procedure, which duration is difficult to predict (it involves adoption by the State Duma in three readings, approval by the Federation Council (upper chamber of the Russian Parliament), signing by the President of the Russian Federation and official publication).
Localization requirement for personal data processing
Under Federal Law No. 242 so called "operators" or "personal data operators" are required to carry out certain types of "processing" of Russian citizens' "personal data" by using "databases", located in Russia. In this context:
Personal data means any information directly or indirectly related to any identified or potentially identifiable person. It includes, among other things, first name and family name, date and place of birth, address, information about family status, education, profession, income;
Personal data operator means a state or municipal authority, legal entity or individual that solely or jointly organize(s)and/or perform(s) the processing of personal data and determine(s) the purposes and scope of such processing;
Localization requirement applies not to all but only to the following types of personal data processing: recording, systematization, accumulation, storage, specification (updating and amending), and extracting; [1]
Personal data processing means any action or combination of actions performed with regard to / with any personal data, including collection, recording, systematization, accumulation, storage, use, transfer (distributing, providing or authorizing access to), blocking, deleting and destroying of any personal data;
Database means set of independent materials systematized in such a way that these materials can be retrieved and processed using the computer; and
Before starting personal data processing operators are required to notify the Federal Service for Supervision in the Area of Telecoms, Information Technologies and Mass Communications, which is the state authority responsible for the enforcement of the Personal Data Law ("Roskomnadzor") on the location of the database(s) containing personal data of Russian citizens.
The requirement of using databases "located in Russia" is not entirely clear, especially given that location of certain databases (e.g. clouds) is difficult to ascertain, but most likely this requirement implies that personal data operators are required to use local facilities (server(s) / data center(s)) located in Russia either owned or provided by third parties; each potential option requires proper legal and tax consideration.
It is not yet clear from Federal Law No. 242 whether Russian citizens' personal data may be processed with the use of the databases located outside of Russia in addition to being processed using databases located in Russia (e.g. for the purposes of back-up or duplicate storage).
Procedure for blocking access to infringing information resources
Procedure for blocking information resources on which unlawful processing of personal data takes place, introduced by Federal Law No. 242, includes the following stages:
Stage 1: The "personal data subject" (any individual identified or potentially identifiable on the basis of the personal data) whose personal data is being processed unlawfully shall obtain the relevant court decision acknowledging the unlawful processing of his/her personal data.
Stage 2: After entry of the relevant court decision into force the personal data subject may apply to Roskomnadzor with the request to limit access to his/her personal data.
Stage 3: Roskomnadzor within 3 (three) business days from the date of the relevant court decision's entry to force shall determine the hosting provider or any other person ensuring the processing of the personal data (the "Hosting Provider"), serve the Hosting Provider with a notification requesting the Hosting Provider to take measures to terminate unlawful processing of personal data and include information on the unlawful processing of personal data (including domain name, webpage, web address identifying websites on which personal data has been unlawfully processed, etc.) into the Register of Infringers of Rights of the Personal Data Subjects.
Stage 4: The Hosting Provider within 1 (one) business day from the date of receipt by the Hosting Provider of Roskomnadzor's notification shall liaise with the operator of the information resource, serviced by the Hosting Operator, requesting the operator of the information resource to terminate unlawful processing of personal data or restrict access to unlawfully processed information.
Stage 5: The operator of the information resource shall terminate unlawful processing of personal data within 1 (one) business day from the date of receipt of the request from the Hosting Operator. If the unlawful processing of personal data is not terminated by the operator of the information resource, the Hosting Provider, must restrict access to the information resource on which that personal data has been unlawfully processed not later than within 3 (three) business days from the date of receipt by the Hosting Provider of Roskomnadzor's notification.
Stage 6: Failure of the Hosting Provider or the operator of the information resource to undertake measures, described in Stages 4 and 5 above, entails submission of the information about unlawful processing of personal data to the telecommunication companies, which shall restrict access to the information resource on which that personal data has been unlawfully processed (including blocking of the relevant domain name or website). If the measures described in Stages 4 and 5 above are properly undertaken or if the court decision acknowledging the unlawful processing of personal data is overruled, Roskomnadzor or the entity keeping and maintaining the Register of Infringers of Rights of the Personal Data Subjects removes the information on the unlawful processing of personal data from such register.
1 - Excluding personal data processing: to achieve objectives stipulated by the international treaties of the Russian Federation or law, and for the performance of functions, powers or obligations of the personal data operators, imposed by law; (ii) for the performance of justice, enforcement of a judicial act, act of another authority or official, as provided by the laws on enforcement of judicial decisions; (iii) for the performance of powers imposed on the federal and municipal authorities, non-budgetary funds and organizations rendering state and municipal services, including registration in the unified and regional portals of state and municipal services; or (iv) for the professional activities of a journalist or mass media or for scientific, literature or other artistic activities, provided that rights and legal interests of the personal data subjects are not breached.

Í would like to know too! Some of our Eloqua customers are doing business in Russia.

The podcats app is a huge backwards step, what are apple doing about it?

I made an account here specifically to bring up the problem that the new podcats app is unbelievably awful.
Just take a quick look at the constant stream of 1 star reviews on the app store and it should become obvious that something is badly wrong.
I spent quite some time yesterday browsing hundreds of reviews of the app and the overwhelming response is not only negative but there are countless requests insisting that it just goes back to the old itunes integrated method and that the idea of a seperate podcats app seems like a step backwards.
Do apple in any way aknowledge this app is a problem? Surely they look at what their customers are saying about it, but so far noting but minor fixes to the most serious of flaws have been addressed (eating through a month of data in 1 day etc) .
In my opinion this is a much bigger issue than the whole apple maps thing, or at least it would have been if I did not discover an excelent third party (paid) podcats app.
I am not going to list every problem here as I am sure most are well documented, but on an OS that prides its self on its intuitive design and ease of use, just how in the world did it ever seem like a good idea to require people to use 2 seperate apps in order to download a piece of audio... and don't even get me started on the desgn...
The maps issue to me was no big deal as I rarely used it but this whole mess of an app has lost my confidence in apple software.
Does anybody else here feel let down by this sorry piece of software?
Am I overdoing it? It just seems such a shoddy piece of work and way below my expectations.

Submit your feedback to Apple - http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is just a user to user technical support forum, so a complaint post here is really falling on deaf ears (well, at least on ears that cannot do a thing about your issue).
