O2 Webmail is closing - More info inside

[Chris_K]

If you use an @o2.co.uk email address you were given previously as part of a broadband or mobile phone package, we’re sorry to tell you that this service is soon coming to an end.

Why?
While some people used these free email accounts, the vast majority didn't, and instead have been using popular other email services like Gmail or Outlook (Hotmail) instead. From 7th June 2016, all o2.co.uk email accounts will be closed and you’ll be unable to send or receive emails using your o2.co.uk account from this date.

What about all my emails, attachments and contacts?
We can show you how to transfer your contacts, email addresses and attachments to Gmail and Outlook. Just make sure you move them before your o2.co.uk email account closes on 7th June. Unfortunately, we can’t transfer them to Yahoo! Mail, so you’ll need to set up either a Gmail or Outlook account to move them.

Likewise, if you use your O2 email address as your log-in for any online services, like banking or shopping, you'll need to update those too. Some customers manage their O2 account from their o2.co.uk email address. If you do too, take a look at www.o2.co.uk/myo2 where you can see your balance, check your bill and get the low down on your account any time you like with My O2.

We’ll be in touch again before June 7th, just to remind you of what’s happening. Until then, we hope this won’t cause too much trouble.

Got any questions or concerns?
Please let us know below – we always welcome and appreciate feedback. If you need more help transferring your emails and contacts, feel free to speak to an O2 Guru - Just check out Live Chat here, or pop into one of our shops.

thanks for that but surely this should have been anticipated and planned for ?

  I have sent  a complaint about the shoddy way this was handled but not even an acknowledgement

[jonsie]

I fail to see how this was was shoddy? This has been well advertised and notified. Shoddy? No afraid not!

I think first notices went out 2013? Then a few more since then.....

Having spotted my o2 email accounts were not connecting on my iPhone I carried out a websearch and stumbled on the thread.

I noticed mention of webmail closing back in June 2016 yet I have not had any emails on the subject. I assumed I had missed the boat as it was all now closed and just a but late doing it. To my supprise I log onto my MacBookPro and it all springs back to life.

I am now as they say confussed.com! are o2.co.uk accounts closing or not?

I have taken steps to move all I can recall registed to the account but am bound to have missed someonline account I have used the address for!

Apparently it's been a staggered shut-down but undoubtably yours will close sooner rather than later.

[Cleoriff]

Surprised to hear it's still working for anyone if honest...after the final shutdown date given as June of this year...

We have been asked to refer all customers to @Toby so drop him a PM

[jonsie]

I'm fairly sure @Toby said there is nothing that can be done so customers had to change provider. 

[MI5]

No correct, he can't do anything, but he asked for us to refer anyone to him anyways.
