Currently some customers are experiencing problems accessing their email. Our engineers are aware of the issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible, however there is currently no estimated time of repair. We do apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you. Is there anything further that I can assist you with?

WOW, she types fast ...

Hi Dana, I did see the system message about the email problems today. I just wanted to be sure my situation wasn't unusual.

2:54:35 PM 
CustomerSharon O
it's been down over 24 hours

2:54:43 PM 
CustomerSharon O
which is very unusual for Embarq

2:55:21 PM 
CustomerSharon O
I guess if that is the norm, though, there is nothing else I can do but wait. :(

2:57:04 PM 
AgentDana D
I have not heard back from you in the last three minutes and I must end the chat if I don't hear from you within the next minute. Do you wish to continue?

2:57:13 PM 
CustomerSharon O
thank you for your time, Dana. Here's hoping the engineers can resolve the issue ASAP.

2:57:26 PM 
CustomerSharon O
sorry, I was sending messages, perhaps they did not go through?

2:58:34 PM 
AgentDana D
Unfortunately, I have not received a response from you in the last four minutes. I apologize, but I must close this session. Should you need further support please feel free to chat with us again. We are available 24 hours a day. Thank you for using Embarq Online Services!
