Solved: Webmail not working

Anonymous · ‎23-11-2015

HI all, is anyone else having problems logging on to webmail? I can access my o2 accounton the o2 site but the webmail feature just times out and doesn't connect. Been like this since early this morning. Contacted o2 via live chat and got told to contact Sky (even though they're not my provider). Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi guys,

Thanks for being patient throughout the discussion of this topic. Unfortunately, the O2 Webmail service suffered a technical issue recently that impacted some customers however, that should be resolved now.

This issue was not linked to closure of webmail accounts. If your webmail account was closing as a result of the Sky/O2 deal, you’d have been notified already with plenty of time to transfer any communications linked to your webmail account somewhere else e.g. Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo, etc. If you migrated your Home Broadband account to Sky, your O2 webmail account will continue to remain active.

If you’re a migrated HBB customer with Sky and still having any issues, pls send me a PM

Fancy writing a great device review or O2 forum guide? Send me a message!

Hi @Anonymous O2 webmail has been closing down slowly since Sept 2013. It is largely unsupported now so it may be time to change to another provider?

Edited to add..people who migrated to Sky broadband actually were still able to access O2 webmail.....though some of those recently have started to experience problems....

I'm assuming you didn't migrate your BB to Sky?
If so, webmail has finished for all customers who didn't migrate.
Anyone who did move to Sky also now has their email hosted by them.

HI, yes i did migrate to Sky but about a month ago I moved and had to change my provider. It's all been working fine and I was on there last night, it's just today I can't get on.

Sounds like Sky have turned you off then I'm afraid, unless it's just a temp glitch.
Well worth you setting up an alternative though.

I don't see why Sky would turn me off now after me using it for over a month. It just doesn't connect and I get a timed out message. Will have to set up a new one with my new provider. Hassle!

You'd have to ask Sky that question.
Email is nothing to do with o2 anymore.

O2 did their job 2 years ago informing customers of the intention to close webmail. I would have thought it was Sky's job to let their clients know?
