Mweb - Absolutely the Worst Email Provider

This is absolutely the worst ISP in South Africa. There's an ongoing problem with email and contacting the help centre is a nightmare. If you do get through and you are number one in the queue, you will be number one in the queue for at least 30 min. Nothing happens. When you do get hold of an agent, they are unable to help you. They put you on hold and then cut the call. Your spam filtering is a nightmare. One day you filter an email, the next day you let it through and then you filter it again. You are playing games with your servers, which results in an inability to send or receive emails from time to time. I've now reached the point where I'm busy cleaning up my email accounts email accounts so that I can close my account and move my business. This is after 40 years with the Mweb and predecessor groups. It is amazing to me that you look at the stats, you search the internet, and there's nothing but bad news about Mweb and yet nothing changes.

Hi to anybody who reads this.
Finally today, after literally months of battling and fighting, I received a call from Kirschwin and it took him about three minutes to sort the problem out where I was unable to send emails outgoing from one of my addresses.
The problem with a number of emails being spammed, although they are whitelisted and the domains are whitelisted, he could not assist with, as it appears it's a problem to be solved by the engineers. Let's hope that they do solve it, because this is becoming a real problem.
Many thanks Kirschwin. I hope I give you an increase!

Hi William, we’re really glad to hear that Kirschwin was able to quickly resolve the outgoing email issue for you, especially after such a long and frustrating period trying to get it sorted. A three-minute turnaround after months of difficulty is exactly the kind of efficient support we aim to deliver, and we’ll definitely make sure your feedback is shared with him. We also hear your concern around the ongoing spam filtering issue affecting whitelisted emails and domains. Since this sits on the engineering side, it has already been noted for further investigation so the underlying cause can be properly addressed rather than repeatedly worked around. We appreciate your patience while that deeper technical work is being handled, and we’ll ensure the engineers continue progressing it until there’s a stable, long-term fix in place. Thanks again for taking the time to highlight both the resolution and the outstanding concern,  it helps us keep improving where it matters most. Kind regards,
 The Mweb Team
