PlusNet webmail returns

PlusNet users can now access their webmail after it was
withdrawn
due to security problems last week.
The ISP has decided to replace their problematic @mail system with one from
SquirrelMail, which is also used by PlusNet owned Metronet. Customers can access
it only via http://webmail.plus.net, but
plans are for this to be accessed via the portal.
Following the withdrawal of our Webmail service on Wednesday, we have
been working around the clock to build a replacement platform for our
customers. As announced previously, this temporary solution will be based
upon the popular SquirrelMail Webmail software. We are already familiar
with the SquirrelMail as it is in use by our Metronet customers.
We are fully confident that the platform is secure and we have been
working closely with BT Security teams to make this so.
We are currently working on making it available from the link on the
portal and will post a further update once this is complete.
Some customers may notice that some email viewed via Webmail has a sent
date of 1970. This is due to the senders' mail system creating a malformed
mail header and is should not be of course for concern. |

The ISP notes that this is just a temporary measure as they look for a long
term replacement for the software.
More is on the PlusNet
service report.
