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 !
Fishtank.

Gmail and Windows Live Mail on my laptop which is backed up regularly to external HD.
I use several Gmail addresses depending on the end purpose, so I have a purely private one for friends/family/trusted people, one for online banking/finance/insurance, one for online shopping etc

I too have Gmail addresses. So easy to close down if necessary for spam. I use Outlook on the laptop and Thunderbird on the tablet. I find it a strange coincidence that my yahoo address which I use for nothing other than signing on here is suddenly inundated with around 40 or 50 spam messages a day. Time for that one to go I think....

O2 didn't tell me!!! Service from O2 has deteriorated so much in recent times (since they sold off the home broadband). But the webmail shut down seems to coincide with a major problem that I've been getting with my o2 email seemingly hacked late June and my not being able to access the webmail to change my password.
