Just got the email, bloody annoying as my wanadoo email has been my main email address for 15+ years so it will be a major PITA amending to a new email address on I don't know how many forums, mailing lists, clubs, people, bank and cards, as well as forwarding emails I've saved on their server either as backup or in case I need certain things while away from home.

At least we have until 31 May to get sorted, they're recommending gmail as a new home, bet gmail will be swamped with new account requests for a while!

It's not just EE email addresses :

Which email addresses are affected?

The addresses affected by the closure are:

• Orange.net
• Orangehome.co.uk

Thanks for sharing. I have just received the email myself. However, have been thinking of changing for a while. This has made the decision for me.

I have not had an e mail yet, I have had my freeserve e mail for many years as my main e mail, so a bit annoyed that this is happening, going to be a pain changing everything and telling people.
