Anyone else lost their BT disposable email addresses

Options
I've been really busy recently and as I've been concentrating on my competition email address I haven't been taking that much notice of my BT mail. I realised things were changing but I must have missed the bit about the disposable yahoo.co.uk addresses, so have lost the lot of them!!!!

It's a nightmare as I use loads of them for different shopping accounts etc. It looks as if it's going to take me ages to sort it out. Anyone else in this mess.

    This happened to my father, he went to check his emails, and he was unable to sign in, changed password etc, with his permission i contacted BT mail, they said as he hadn't signed in and used the email for more than 6 months, (which wasn't true, He checks them daily) it's closed down and deleted, i asked if i could have it back, they said no, and that was that..

    Sorry, just to add, this was his main email account not a disposable one.

    We had the e-mail from BT today. I think our disposable addresses are still live at the moment ... what a pain and very annoying

    I never got an email specifically about disposable addresses and now I've got a couple of websites where I can't remember the password and can't reset it. Annoying isn't the word for it.
    I can only be thankful I never used them for entering competitions. Would hate to think I might have missed out on a WEM!!!
