So if you're not lying... and we know where liars go... then Apple basically intentionally shut down .Mac without a replacement for a day and a half. I'd probably be pissed about that, but I'm going to bed and not going to worry about it anymore.
I think that's really the kicker; if Apple were to come out and set a time, I think people would be a lot more forgiving.
I have to call BS on this one. If that was true Apple would have said the service would be offline until tomorrow, but they specifically put a time limit in the status message. Why would they mislead all of their customers?
the support page shows this, so they at least acknowledge its going longer than it was supposed too.

no, .mac is not shut down - just the web browser interface.
my sources are not high up and have been wrong in the past but it just makes sense.
Push email has been working REALLY well for me all day via my updated iPhone. Incoming on Mail has been fine, but outgoing stalled for about 10 hrs on all messages. Updates are slow, no push on the Macbook AND, I made the mistake of logging out of .Mac in system preferences. I can't log back in now, even though my password is correct, and my other machines are still in successfully. Huh?
Push is not working on my iphone - are you sending to your @mac or @me address? I send stuff to my @me and it isn't pushing to my iphone, though it was earlier (like, 4 hours ago)
Sorry, I wasn't going directly to the store, just "http://www.apple.com/uk". Hope I didn't offend anyone!

UPDATE! 2.0 WILL BE RELEASED AT THE EXACT TIME OF MOBILE ME!
What will I need for my iPhone or iPod touch to use MobileMe?
You will need to update to software version 2.0 or later to enable push mail, push contacts, push calendar, and push bookmarks. This software update will be available when MobileMe launches

Same here. I guess I'll just go on Youtube and forget that I have important e-mail in the mailbox until tomorrow morning (hopefully it will be fixed).
I dont know if Mail.app works but since I am not at home tonight, away from my iMac and only have Windows machine here I guess I am out of luck.
The Gallery being offline is causing me major headaches; I have had to post a few picture sets as zipped files on my secondary webspace using Cyberduck, since all the .Mac features are going AWOL.
Please, Apple, pleaseget this transition over!

who r your sources?
?
they work for apple yes - but not at headquarters - they have sources who have sources lol but they are usually correct
you can't expect to claim that information on an internet forum without very good proof or a really good track record of being right. thanks anyways
how am i spamming? i am new to adding to the blogs but i've been a daily visitor to macrumors for over 3 years now and have been an apple lover back in the "classic" os days... Call BS if you wish, i don't care if you believe me or not. But do not question my apply loyalty but calling me a spammer!
Thanks!
i can't log in.
actually, i don't even get the opportunity. haven't been able to all day.
when i type either mobileme.com or me.com, i get redirected to apple.com/mobileme, the product page.
ugh! i'm a .mac subscriber and i'm excited to try this out. i realize, though, that with a global launch on something of this proportion, it may take awhile for the loads to be taken care of.
does anyone else still get the maintenance page when they head over to mac.com?

I understand that completely - just don't call me a spammer! Sorry for sharing the information that i've learned.. Just wanting to contribute for once!
Then prove that your sources are real. If you can't I say your spamming or even worse trying to get attention.
