MobileMe mail offline for 'some users'... again

Yeah, I agree and appreciate this post, As of today, I have Contacts at me.com, any changes are made on my iPhone or the me.com page, leave and come back and I have "No Contacts" This isn't as bad as it could be because I do still have contacts on my phone, but for $99 a year I'm not sure if I'll be back for more of the same......

I still miss iTools.

sigh.... the interesting thing is that i never am one of the people who falls under the "it doesn't work" group!

This just confirms my decision. I'm actually in the process of porting over all my mail, contacts, and calendars to Google. Bye bye MobileMe.

I think it's pretty unfair to dub the entirety of MobileMe as not worth the price tag when a single component goes down for a short period of time. It's just email that's down, and just for a fraction of users. You don't see people slamming Google's collective services as a worthless when Gmail goes down. Again.

Also, FWIW, MobileMe Mail via IMAP is back up for me.

IMAP on the iPhone and Apple Mail are down for me since about 1PM EST. Web mail stayed up throughout.

It's back, my first unread message (outta 62) is from 6 hours ago....

It's back for me...

had 62 unread messages, starting from 6 hours ago....

For $65 (eBay) Mobile Me is still worth it. It's the 'Find my iPhone' and keychain synching that I can't do without. Everything else has a free alternative out there but this is all under one roof which I like. I am over having accounts in 15 places to do the same thing just so I can save $6 a month?

Speaking of keychain and Mobile Me, cool story; I had visited a friend a year ago and used their WiFi. Since then he moved, I got a new laptop. I go to his new house last week and the laptop instantly joined his network. Mobile Me had stored the WPA key and everything and then pushed that down to my new laptop. "It just works" indeed. Can't get that somewhere else.

Sorry, wrong post.
