 * Updating the MailPoet-plugin form 3.0.7 to 3.1.0 gives the following update-error.
 * >>Update-error <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC”-//IETF/DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> 503 Service Unavailable.
   The server is temporarily unable to service your request due tot maintenance 
   downtime or capacity problems.
 * Despite the plugin-update (3.1.0) was installed.
 * Do you know what is happening, because I had already several update-failures 
   earlier. Then I had to restore a backup.
 * TY

 * Hi Folks!
 * In this case it’d be best to deactivate and delete MailPoet 3, then download 
   a fresh copy and install.
 * If you can’t deactivate the current version due to an inaccessible page, login
   with FTP and remove from `wp-content/plugins`
 * Thanks!

 * I stopped automatic update in WordPress and updated only when a major update 
   Mailpoet occurred.
 * Now everything is running smooth.
 * Thank you for your help.
 * Arnold
