Anyone still using orange / wanadoo / freeserve addresses?

You need to change them - they will be discontinued on 31/5/2017

I recently lost my earliest 'easynet' email account through non use (excessive spam had made it a time wasting exercise to check, even on a monthly basis - ironically a lot of it was One2One which became T-Mobile, one of the EEvil trinity), so it is worth sending a message to yourself on any old account and check what happens.

I've had several old email addresses expire, had a Freeserve address years ago, but retired it, BTInternet was another, just use my own site addresses now.

Thanks .. I was not aware of this, still using my old Freeserve address.

Oh blimey, I remember Freeserve. Spent hundreds of my parents' phone bill money in the late 90's/early 2000's by being online....

I've had Wonkydo and Orange addresses in the past, but they died of neglect.

Also had every possible variant of Live.xy addresses (5 of them, IIRC), but rationalised and now exclusively use my G Mail address. I do have an ISP one,from my FWA Provider, but don't use it.
