Virgin Media update - email is down again, 09:40 Tuesday

On phone to VM to get tech advice about the massive email duplications. Or rather, on hold since 09:00 (yes, over an hour, and the emails went down again while I was on hold).

After 23.5 hours of no emails yesterday, it looks like I have about 6000 emails overnight ... or rather about 30 copies each of about 200 emails (of which perhaps 20 might be important & another 20 of interest). Any ideas about clearing up the mess before the mailbox overflows?

Virgin Media: Is there a way of removing lots of duplicates from the flood of emails coming through after the outage? About 3600 emails in 3 hours (OK, 20 copies each of 180 emails...).

Emails are coming through in floods ... about 3000 so far, with about 20 copies of each individual email. Far too many for me to cope with. Any ideas for removing duplicates and cleaning up the resulting mess?

VM email looks like it is staggering back to life. I just had 607 incoming emails. The downtime was about 23.5 hours. HOWEVER the emails arrived in an 8 minute period, in random order. So it will take a while to figure out what order they should have arrived in!

Not done a test of outgoing mail yet.

Another error message ... and if this is at all relevant, it means VM has suffered the mother of all security breaches. As in "expect fines in the multimillion pound range for insufficient data protection".

First day of the #rethinkandgrowrich workshop run by @PaulOMahony and team. Much to learn, still confused ... but I'll get there. I may be 140 by the time I get there, but I'll get there. 🤓🤔😕
