AT&T BlackBerry Email Outage

Not having your email work properly is never a good situation, and unfortunately that’s what happened yesterday to a lot of AT&T BlackBerry users. Apparently the emails stopped being sent around 9.45 in the morning. While it was initially thought to be an AT&T issue, it later appeared that RIM also had a part to play. There are some rumblings that RIM was just doing some server upgrades at that time, but it certainly doesn’t sound too likely. Fortunately everything seems to be working fine now, so we’ll just have to put these issues behind us (for now, at least).
