    pipex have a check your e-mail option on their home page. Use that to check your new messages

    You cant.
    If your cancelling your pipex account you will no longer have access to that email account!
    Hence why i never use the email addresses supplied by ISP's

    I should read more carefully, It didn't register that he was canceling his subscription
  • I still use my virgin email account about 8 years after I stopped using them as an ISP!

  • You could think about not cancelling, just let it run and then transfer when you move into the new place.

    That way you should be able to get email via webmail or set some sort of auto forwarding

    Me neither but I use my email addresses for work. Quite cheap to get a domain and basic email for a year now. Think I pay £12 a year with 1and1 internet.

    Or just get a domain for £2 a year and forward it to your ISP/ Hotmail etc as appropriate - all in user control with instant changes

    Bit risky, they could technically cancel the email account whenever they want. My family used to be with UKOnline dial up and we changed to someone else for broadband, I decided to get my own domain and forget my ukonline email address whereas my family keep theirs as their main addresses. Not long afterwards they required you to dial up into ukonline at least once every three months to keep the addresses (a hassle both to remember and plugging in if you've ditched dial up). And now they charge at least £20 a year (for each address) just for the priviledge of keeping the email accounts open.
