Apple continued to have problems with its new MobileMe service over the weekend and into Monday, with several users unable to access their email.
The
Unofficial Apple Weblog has a summary of complaints from its readers up on its site, and I've been hearing from some CNET readers as well about problems accessing email accounts that were
once known as .Mac, and now fall into the MobileMe service.
Apple's discussion boards are filled with angry MobileMe customers who haven't been able to access their email all weekend.
Apple's MobileMe status page has a note up at the moment that says "1% of MobileMe members cannot access MobileMe Mail. We apologize for any inconvenience". It's just the latest in a
series of problems that has
plagued the launch of MobileMe, a US$99-a-year service that lets you access contacts, calendars, and other files from one computer on other Macs or PCs, as well as your iPhone.
Apple provided 30 free days of service as a result of the launch issues that also
waylaid Apple's iTunes servers and disrupted the iPhone 3G launch. The company reports its
third-quarter earnings later Monday, and it will be interesting to see if analysts push Apple on the problems it seems to have having with its Web infrastructure. An Apple representative did not immediately return an email seeking comment on what might be causing the problems.
