Default OT - everlasting email accounts



"Wesley" wrote in message o.uk...
I've had three different ISP's over the last 10 years or so. I am still able to use the email accounts I set up with the first
two even though I switched from the first provider about 10 years ago and the second, about two years ago. I can only receive
email from the oldest one but I can send and receive mail with the second. Is there any particular reason why these accounts are
still live after I have moved to a new ISP?



I confess I was with Tiscali before I moved to BE!

They were pretty quick in cutting off my email, not a problem, I didn't use it for
anything.
The free webspace was usefull and I was a tiny bit sad to see it go,
see if yours is still accesable (if you ever activated it).

They did allow me to continue logging in to my account for a while after I migrated,
which was usful as I needed to print off the last couple of invoices to claim
back on expenses.
