Update

CCS continues to investigate the current issues with Footprints email delivery, and we have expanded the scope of this issue to include other connections for Email as well. Access to Email via Outlook Web, Outlook Mobile and Outlook Desktop is unaffected and we encourage you to use these platforms to connect to your mailbox for the time being.

We will post further updates as soon as we have more information to share.

Investigating

Beginning 7pm Thursday Sept 22 Footprints stopped processing email for all workspaces. Email inboxes are accessible manually and email will continue to queue. New tickets can be created manually and updates to existing tickets will be sent out but no new tickets will be created through email while this issue persists. We are currently investigating and will post another update later this morning.
