Scheduled -
A software upgrade on the incoming mail servers (mx1.startmail.com, mx2.startmail.com, mx3.startmail.com) will be performed in sequence. During the time of the upgrade, it may show offline for remote third party mail servers attempting delivery to StartMail. It will (should) then be re-attempted to any of the other remaining servers online. As a result, some email may be delivered with a slight delay (~ minutes) during this window and we expect a minimal impact overall.
This follows after an initial roll-out that has been reverted shortly after, on last Thursday May 19th (https://status.startmail.com/incidents/fc1q6gchty3y). The issue with the delivery of mail that we experienced after the upgrade is assumed to be resolved and we will monitor the roll-out today closely.

Investigating -
One of our vault servers is malfunctioning since about 7:55 UTC and requires a reboot to restore service. This will affect about 10-15% of customers, who may currently be unable to log in and use their webmail or IMAP connections. Incoming email will be queued and delivered after this server is back. Expect service to be fully restored in approximately 15 minutes. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We will perform a platform change that requires us to restart all backend servers. To prevent unexpected behavior during this time, we will disable customer access to our platform for up to 15 minutes between 06:00 and 07:00 UTC while we are restarting those servers.
This means that during this period, webmail will be unavailable, and no messages can be sent using SMTP or received using IMAP. Incoming messages that arrive during this period will be queued and processed afterwards.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
