- Orange POP and webmail
- Posted by Leo9 on February 6th, 2008
I've been with Freeserve / Wanadoo / Orange broadband for years and have an
fsnet.co.uk email address, which I normally access through OE but when
Orange webmail came along I signed up to be able to access my emails through
that too. The password is the same for both. If I move to another ISP, will
I still be able to go to Orange webmail and see any emails that may have
been sent to me at my (old) fsnet.co.uk address?
Apols if this has been asked (and answered) before. I've tried searching.
Thanks very much for any responses . . .

This just is not true! As Orange have a dial-up service cancelling a broadband
account with them leaves the e-mail address existing for this. The PAYG
account needs to be connected to every few months to keep it from being
deleted. E-Mail can be collected via POP3 from any new ISP - I have done
this from Sky Broadband for the last 12 months.
Don't know about web-mail.

I think the answer is both of you are correct! If the ISP is on the ball it
will cancel everything. It it isn't it will leave access open for a while
until they get around to doing the housekeeping (whenever).

The original question *WAS*, however, about Orange!
They won't terminate an e-mail address - as they provide a dial-up
service which is still active after Broadband is cancelled!

up service which has been cancelled (for non-use for 90 days). I
don't know how long *that* extends for. I play safe by dialling-in
on the 1st of every other month - every three months would just go
over the limit.

I still use OE to read freeserve mail, using multiple accounts. My ISP
permits me to set my from address to an fsnet or freeserve address.

Surely it's easier and cheaper just to open a Gmail account (or similar)?
Whatever you do, you certainly want to unlink your email address from your
ISP.

Dunno. I have registered a couple of .co.uk domains recently, At £5 a
year I think, including e-mail REDIRECTION.
mail BOXES cost a bit more, My actual 'hosted' domains are with Claranet
and they do cost a tad more. Clarahost lite: £30 a year. £2.50 a month
basically.
That gets you your own domain, 10 pop mail boxes, and a website space if
you want it. Plus bloody good mail filters, and as many email aliases as
you want.
I've stuck with Clara from business days, because they are very solid on
hosting. I use them for connectivity because they had a decenmtnews
server. Its not that good at the moment tho. But the suppoort is
resonable on that, and very good on hosting, and average to good on
ADSL, and the actual speeds are pretty much unrestricted.
Amen brother.

You're probably right except that Gmail is free, has a brilliant spam
filter, and you don't have to worry about remembering to pay the renewal on
your domain.
However, as with everything I guess "You pays yer money and takes yer
choice"!

I wouldn't say it has a "brilliant spam filter" as it's filtered out a
