The issue with access to emails & Post Office that TPG engineers supposedly fixed in July 2019 (refer to numerous forum posts during July) appears to have arisen again.
Attempts to access TPG's Post Office gets the same result as received in July:
Database Connection Failed
Atmail could not communicate to the database resulting in an error. To continue please check the following:
The error message returned from the server includes:
SQLSTATE[42000] [1203] User atmail already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections
Once the database connection details have been resolved, reload your browser to continue with the session.
In TPG's Service Status this latest occurrance appeared as a "Critical Issue" originally proposed to be fixed by 1:00pm yesterday. Now the estimated resolution is midday today.
This will be more than 24 hours that TPG's engineers have had to fix this issue, in addition to the time spent in July trying to fix it. Will the TPG engineers attempt at a fix this time be a permanent fix?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi @Dons2000
Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.
While we will endeavour to make the Service available to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Service is not fault free and we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.
There is an ongoing Email outage, our network Engineers are actively working to resolve the issue at the earliest.

TPG this has been going on for almost 3 days now.
Just face it you have absoutley no idea what the issue is, hence why you keep change the time to take to rectified, this has dragged it out now almost 3 days straight.
Yes It is unfortunate it has happened and technology does play up from time to time, but what gets me is why a company your size does not have an immediate backup plan when these sort of things occur???
#1 for disgraceful service!
Hi @BadDay
The outage was caused by a failure affecting the storage system, through which the email systems operate. The failure has meant that customers have had difficulties using the email systems during the period of outage. Our network Engineers are actively working to resolve the issue at the earliest.
We've posted an update here in the community. You may refer to [Update] TPG Email Outage.
Further updates will be posted on our service status page and here in the community.
Thank you for your patience.

We are still affected by this issue. 3 days unable to login to our email account! Your service status page currently says ' no reported issue '. Well here's me reporting that we do have an issue. When will this problem be resolved?
Hi @alfie,

Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.
We'll check this matter with our network Engineering team for further investigation.
