I can’t believe they can just shut you down. I did not get any notice prior to loosing all of my e-mail accounts! I think they should give us the chance to clear up our in box and move on to another server.

Jul 6th 2010, couldn’t log-in, the page just says sign-up and pay per year or “contact support” and the “help/support” page won’t come up, tried many times, was down all day long, they are playing around with the email system. The company hides behind some sort of a skimpy support page. Their “help” page always says “last article update: 2007″ I really recommend don’t use their service and back-up ALL your emails ASAP. They are a bunch of anti-customer morons running that company and THEY are the ones driving it into the ground.

1-866-971-5039 they hang up on you if you’re not a “paid” “customer”. Even if their “support/help” page is down and you can’t get to it, they hang up on you. Completely asinine.

Quote: “the company has decided to discontinue its Lycos Mail operations because it’s no longer profitable.”

More like it’s not “profitable” because it’s run by morons who are arrogant, anti-customer, and who won’t listen to input from anyone. It was discontinued in the UK, U.S. is next. Beware.

I got right into both of my Lycos accts, NO PROBLEM!!! could this be a scam? I have no emails that speak of Lycos closing their doors. I don’t know but it is kinda fishy.
