Sorry This Service Is Temporarily Unavailable!

Isn't that just maddening when it happens, you feel totally powerless and frustrated rolled into one, when things happen out of our control we are left wondering how long we have to wait, and if we rely heavily on our internet/emails then it's like going cold turkey in a way. I am with Gmail and I have to admit they don't have many service problems and if they do they are only temporary, hopefully yours kicks back into operation soon, maybe it's the heat? Of course I went from July to October once without the entire INTERNET, and I nearly went stir crazy!

I don't seem to get those, but there are days when I don't seem to get any notifications from anything, so I guess those are aol outage days... AOL is pretty idiot proof, but I've met idiots that can still screw them up!

Yes I have. I can't remember the longest period of time. It seems like I remember once when it was a day but, I hadn't tried to get into my email on that day so, I didn't even know about it until someone else told me that it happened. If I had needed to get into my email then, that would have had me going bonkers. I would have been frustrated. So, it is a good thing that I didn't need to that day. LOL!

only ever had it for a quick minute but as you well know my hotmail account has been pants just recently maybe they're upgrading the server or something whose your email with is it your aol one?

actually it happened to day with face book, after going to the log in.. it said that it was suspended.. after several attempts and different log in statuses finally got into it.. very frustrating as wanted to send a message and was pushed for time as had to go to work... it took a couple hours but blasted inconvenient... and technology pah... sometimes it is quicker to walk, write a letter or even light a bonfire and send smoke signals... but what do you do ?? LOL

hello ellie333... yes.. this happened to me 4 months ago and when i know that , i was very confused and little angry , because i need to open my email. Because in that time , my sister sent an important mail. I just can say "sorry" to her and she sent that message via chatting. but 2 days after that , i can open my email.. Thanks to God...huff... I hope I don't get moment like that again... thanks.. hehe

I have and i do get frustrated which actually makes me chuckle. Not sure how old you are, but for most of us, the internet is new and hasn't been around forever. Used to be AOL was the only game in town and social networking before were these archaic bulletin boards like crunchland and before that - nothing. If you wanted mail you got penpals and wrote to them and waited for them to write you back - which I did! I don't use my email anymore I always forget.

I have..just for a short while though so hope you find its recovering soon..what a pain to be without it. For a while after I changed to high speed..when I would try to go on mylot the previous server would interupt!

Hi ellie! I think it was some time last week or weekend that the same thing happened to me and it drove me crazy! I am used to responding first from my emails! So, after trying for awhile I gave up and went to mylot's "hot discussions" and started there! It was down for quite awhile so when I got tired of responding I gave up, shut down and by the next day it was all back to normal!

I hate it when things like that happen especially when you are all set out to work online and something is broken so you can’t or it takes a lot longer to do what you want to do! I have never had my emails down but I do recall the screen froze as emails where coming through and I couldn’t do anything. I could go to other sites but my email account was well and truly frozen for about 40 minutes. To this day I don’t know if it was just me but it was so darn annoying!

I haven't experienced having my email be 'temporarily unavailable'. Probably I've just been lucky that way. Once, about 3 months ago there was an issue statewide with internet availability. That was frustrating and lasted for a few days. During that time, not only was it difficult to get online anywhere, but once you did it was slower than dirt.

I hate this message when it appears in front of me on my screen I feel to give a punch to the screen because just after the message when I refresh my page then it turns normal so I don't understand why it had to show me this message so much.

well ellie... i never go through my email to response or comment back to any discussion made in mylot rather i like to open mylot to see over all status. again, i have not ever found your said problem but sometimes i cant open some sites due to server problem. have a nice day.

Hi Ellie... I have an aol account, and it went down for almost 48 hours... when I got it back I had hundreds of emails, it drove me mad, having to check through them, to see which were important, and which wernt!

Hi Ellie, that is annoying isn't it? This happened to me last year sometime. I couldn't access my account for maybe four or five days. I went on the forums for my mail provider but I couldn't get any answers at all. I think I posted a discussion about it on here to find out if anyone else was having problems, but I think it was only me! Then my access just came back as mysteriously as it went away! I hope yours comes back soon. We've come to rely on things like email, and when we don't have it it's frustrating isn't it?
