Hi No point in my case as I don't have the iPad with me all the time (I don't have a mobile phone). Its just as easy to sign in to the web mail and check there.

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted March 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2017 Here's a link to what's happening and how to import emails and other relavent stuff.If you haven't been notified by mail yet. https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile-and-home-connections/broadband-gallery-mobile-broadband/email/email-closure?intcam=ON_EE_NA_Orange_email_closure_webmaillink-2017-03-16#gmail I notice there's now a banner, when you logon to email, telling you that the serve is closing. I suspect they didn't realise how many customers they had and individual emails were taking too long. HTH Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted May 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 22, 2017 Only 9 days left to get a new email address, as the plug is pulled on the 31st. I expect most, if not all, have changed over. Just a reminder. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Only 9 days left to get a new email address, as the plug is pulled on the 31st. I expect most, if not all, have changed over. Yes I changed about 4 weeks ago. It's been fun trying to remember what official, utility and forums to change. I got very few to my Freeserve address now except for junk. At least when it gets turned off the junk will go with it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted June 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Absent mindedly logged in as a matter of routine this morning and found the fsmail.net email address is still there and has received 2 messages with todays date, both from sources which have been told Orange are closing this service yesterday(31 May). Has someone at Orange forgotten to pull a plug? Edit for date clarity Edited June 1, 2017 by Brit70053 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 May just be a time zone thing, it's still the 31st May in some parts of the world and they may only shut it down when everyone is up to date. Although they are closing down I wonder if this is only for new postings and one will still be able to access the old stuff, at least for a short while.

peter220950 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I received an email on the account at 6 am today, but the one I just sent from another account has failed, so I suspect they had to wait for the IT man to get up and stroll in around 9.30 to switch the server off. There doesn't seem to be any confirmation back that the delivery failed, so I suspect there's a big electronic bin filling up with emails somewhere.

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted June 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2017 Morning, I couldn't receive anything from about midday yesterday. It may be thay are phasing different suffixes out gradually. Mines a Freeserve account. There are several other legacy suffixes, fsmail, etc..

t8hants Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 My fsnet went at 7:45 this morning and poor old OE is still trying to send the last email I forwarded to myself, I wonder if it is locked into a loop forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted June 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2017 It appears to have gone the journey now, just an elaborate screen advertising EE products and services from the usual search key. I'd deleted everything bar the final message from Orange reminding me they were closing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrobuscp Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 All a very long time ago, but I think when Freeserve came along I opened a few accounts, with the intention of leaving Compuserve for which we had to pay. I realised back then the problems related to switching email addresses and bought a few suitable domain names which gradually became the ones carrying all our business and private email. This has made the recent Freeserve closure relatively painless through re-direction of the email away from the Freeserve servers. I stopped using the Freeserve servers over a month ago but checked the accounts regularly finding hardly a handful of people to notify. Sad to see the service end, it was good while it lasted, but I had anticipated it would happen particularly with the BT takeover, and following on from the loss of the webspace.

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted June 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) What surprised me was the number of different ways companies/organisations had for changing your email details. Some were very straightforward, others you had to jump through hoops and obstacles to get it done. One company would not do it online, you had to ring them to change email details. My energy suppliers web site took my new details OK, but my advice of billing and to send a reading was still going to my old address. Another phone call. It seems personal account data and marketing are separated for data protection. Hopefully my spam levels will drop dramatically as the old email was prone to it. Started after I ordered something from a small cOmpany in the States, many years ago. Rob Edited June 2, 2017 by mezzoman253 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter220950 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Has anyone else still been getting emails? - I took my account off my Samsung tablet as it was mucking things up by trying to update, but my wife has just noticed 4 unread emails on her Ipad, one dated 9th June and one dated today, all on the old Wanadoo address. - Strange.

Peter No, I left my account for about 10 days then removed it from the PC email client. On the web I couldn't log in anyway after the 31st May. It may be a phased shutdown with Wanadoo last to go?

antrobuscp Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Likewise, I removed all Freeserve accounts from my pcs. I did, after a posting on here, attempt to log in via the Orange login page - which accepted the login and just went to an EE services page.

It may be a phased shutdown with Wanadoo last to go? Rob It's wierder than that, my Wanadoo service stopped early morning of 1st June, and after a couple of days attempting to send an e-mail from my Wanadoo account to the Ipad it confirmed it was unable to deliver, which indicated to me that the service had stopped. It was just a random hunt to discover where the 4 unread emails were that has discovered these 4, two of which are marketing mass sending which nevertheless seem to have been delivered yesterday and today. P.S. another 5 have just turned up, from Etsy, Apple store, White Stuff etc. all dated 10th and still to the Wanadoo email address, it's freaking us out!
