O2 Webmail is now closing down - it's official !

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have been an active O2 webmail user for many years and during this time we have been told countless times that the O2 webmail service is closing down.   Despite this, I have CONTINUED to use the O2 webmail service.  Athough recently, I have experienced major time delays in getting my email.    I can still logon and send emails from my webmail address without any problem.    Yes, that's right.

 

However, all good things must end, so they say.    I have just received a message from The O2 Team confirming that the webmail service will be closing on Monday 20th June 2016.  

 

I am very pleased that O2 made the decision to write to all their webmail customers.   Which I can tell you is quite out of character for O2..    Usually we are kept completely in the dark.     Anyway, credit where it's due!

 

I shall be very sad to lose my webmail facilities and I have arranged to transfer all emails to SKY.   I am  hoping that the O2 forwarding service actually works.

 

Goodbye and good luck !

Just a word about relying on Sky, it's quite possible you would be in the same situation a year or so down the line. I would always use GMail to be honest just as a guarantee.

And use an email client on your device so that all emails are saved there.....do not rely on a webmail server.

I agree with @jonsie and @Beenherebefore and would also add that whichever service you move to, if your data is important to you, back up your mails and photos, either to a portable memory stick or external hard drive.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2
