O2 Email

StevieJ

It seems that O2 are about to shut down O2 email accounts? I stumbled across this as I was reorganising my o2 down to 20meg by deleting some and moving some over to my O2 Mobile email account. I was aware that BB email was being reduced to 20meg but it seems like I am also going to lose my mobile email as well (was 200meg) I have had no notification of this and only chanced across it in the following posts.

Your o2.co.uk email is closing
You know your o2.co.uk email account? We're sorry to tell you we're shutting it down.
Why?
We used to give all our customers a free o2.co.uk email account. Some people used it, but lots didn't - preferring to use other email services like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo!, instead. So, from 1 November 2013, all o2.co.uk email accounts will be closed. You won't be able to send or receive email using *********@o2.co.uk after this date.
What about all my emails and contacts?
It's easy to transfer your contacts and their email addresses to another account. Transferring your emails is simple too. Our O2 Gurus can show you how at www.o2.co.uk/o2email. Just make sure you move them before your o2.co.uk email account closes on 1 November.
Likewise, if you use your o2.co.uk email address as your log-in for any online services like banking or shopping, you'll need to update those too.
Some customers manage their O2 account from their o2.co.uk email address. If you do too, take a look at www.o2.co.uk/myo2 where you can see your balance, check your bill and get the low down on your account any time you like with My O2.
We'll be in touch again before 1 November, just to remind you of what's happening. Until then, we hope this won't cause too much inconvenience.
All the best
The O2 Team
