o2.co.uk email is still active and has been hacked. o2 can't shut it down.

[Anonymous]

having problems with an old o2.co.uk email address I had from the o2 broadband days.  It has been hacked somehow I am gettting 20+ mail failed delivery emails coming in a day.  Can't shut it down myself as o2 have removed webmail access from the website.

Have spoken to customer service and they say they don't know!  Have spoken to 2 "gurus" and they say yes it will be shut down within 24 hours but it's still working!!

Help!

who owns the o2.mail.co.uk server is it o2 or sky?

Had an email from o2 a month a go saying the email accounts would close in June.

Has anyone else had this?

Thanks

Possibly..... good point, but it should be easy to separate the .com's from the .co.uk's

You would think so but maybe the outsourced IT desk isn't up to it.....

Yes, I know that. It doesn't stop the hackers from sending emails out in my name. That's the main reason for wanting it shut down.

Almost certainly your email address is being spoofed on a server totally unconnected to O2's webmail servers.

Shutting it down won't stop hackers using your email address.
