Mail.com / 1&1 Mail & Media review: email account disappeared! 21

Yes I suffered a similar experience, I had several mail.com accounts and now they have disappeared, I can’t gain access to my Instagram account and now I’m left here in the dumps.

I used mail.com for about 4 years. They deleted both my accounts. Terrible!

I have never signed up for this service but I am being billed and money is being withdrawn from my bank account.

This just happened to me too. I also lost important correspondence and contacts going back almost a decade. I'm furious.

Two days in a row. I receive a Nigerian-type scam e-mail. I have attached a screenshot of today's BS. It is being sent to whitemtsemi@charter.net. Please make it stop. If it does not, I will report you to the FCC/FTC.

Don't waste your time with this free junk email site mail. com, because, here is my story, I found the site from google and I opened an account 2 days ago, a couple logins but NEVER sent or received any mail at all, and all of a sudden my account is blocked.
I filled a form reporting my case with reply saying it remains blocked by their team.

STOP WASTING your time! If I could give (-) MINUS 3 stars to mail. com, I would!

Hello. I have just received an email response back from the Mail.com support team (at my alternate email address) after failed attempts to receive replies from them for months. The email informed me that my mail.com email account was deactivated due to "inactivity" which I found hard to believe since I have even made sure to log in to my account at least within 3-6 months and it wasn't even that long ago that I was able to actually log in to the account. After about a month later of successfully logging into my email account, I was unable to log in. I even changed the password but the account still would not let me in. I contacted the support team about the issue and I didn't get a response except a seemingly automated reply that it confirmed that I did have the email account and to change the password. I tried again repeatedly for a couple of months along with contacting the mail.com support team but still no response. However, after the umpteenth time of requesting help from them, I received an email from them giving me options on how to successfully get into my email account. I tried the options but no success and emailed them back with my report. The next day (today) they sent me an email to tell me that my account was deactivated because of inactivity and that they could not reactivate it. They told me to just sign up for a new email account as if it were so simple and that my years of important emails meant nothing to them. Why would I even want another account with them after they just gave me crappy service?! Seriously? WTF! The only reason my email account was inactive was because the email account itself would not allow me to log in at all and of course, and the Mail.com support were dragging their feet to assist me! I told them that I cannot sign up for a new email account and asked them to find a way to reactivate my email account or I will file a complaint, thus bringing me to this website. *Smh*

Contact your local FBI Cyber Crimes: illegals hired by US Corporations and foreign ones are stealing USA citizens personal information. Time to prosecute. And if they are on USA soil they will be visited by all those whom have had our personal information stolen: thus that particular individual won't be doing a repeat...

Mail.com lost me a job. I send my potential employer important emails and none of them reached them. I tested it out by sending an email to my wife, and it never got to her either. So now I'm wondering if any jobs I applied for through mail.com even reached anybody. Looked for a mail.com number to call but none exists. I have 2 little kids at home counting on daddy to support them, I hope mail.com is happy. I'm sure they could care less, STAY AWAY FROM MAIL.COM! I have other email accounts, and they are by far the very worst.

I signed up for a mail.com free account yesterday afternoon as I'm fed up with
Gmail and "MAILER-DAEMON@gmail.com" failing to recognise known email
addresses including mine when I do Cc. And forcing me and other Gmailers
to use Basic HTML which's hopeless and their Standard version hardly loads,
when it does, it's still forcing people to use Basic HTML, it rarely works.

Yesterday not long after signing up for my mail.com email I'd "MAILER-DAEMON, etc"
and again this morning, it also failed to recognise known email addresses,
their button icons dissapered, above my email window, leaving the wording, their
"Save" and "OK" buttons weren't responding yesterday afternoon, last night and it
started again this morning. Mail.com are as much rubbish as Gmail and I regret
signing up with both. All we want is a decent free email service that doesn't
develop these issues. With Gmail they've no "Contact us|" button or "Link "within
Gmail and expect their users to sort out problems. Mail.com had this yesterday
afternoon but not this morning. It also says "Check your Internet connection, etc"
when I'm online as I've other labels that work.

Anyone got any ideas as to what website gives people a decent, fully working and
reliable free email in the UK?

Mail.com has discontinued the services of indiamail.com without any intimation to the user. This is totally ridiculous that we have some important information which is official and personal in the E-mail. I totally dis agree that this should not happen. Can any one please tell me how the legal action can be taken against the domain owner who discontinued the services with out any intimation

AOL has ruined Mail.com just like they have everything they touch. You have to be a darn fool to ever use anything from AOL. It is not worth the cost, even if it is free. You will definitely pay with aggravation, disappointments and outright being ripped off for services that are not provided. AOL slams in their pop-ups, spam and other useless crap that only serves AOL. It breaks the paid for functionality, then you can write as often as you want, but will only get automatic responses and the problem will go on and on, until you get fed-up and find another services. The best approach to AOL is file a complaint with your credit card company and with the BBB until AOL wakes up and stops ripping off their customers.

I, too, have been a mail.com customer for over 10 years. This last "upgrade" is the "final straw".

Nothing works consistently. That is unless you consider consistently broken. The 'home page' is completely useless! I have no need to ever see that screen, and yet no way to shut it off.

The latest aggrevation is an ad window that pops up during username login. Are they really TRYING to lose users? WTF?

Sometimes I have to click 3 or 4 times to get a message to open. Then the links in the message usually don't work. I have even gotten the header from one message, and the body of another message! Holy s**t, Batman! Who would consider this a 'service'?

And they don't care. All complaints & suggestions are only robo-answered. I, too, gave up. I am now looking forward to being just another happy camper on GMail. That service has been fine on my IPhone for the last year and a half. No reason to suffer any longer!

Yeah, 10 years of info. But I'm cutting a MAJOR AGGREVATION factor associated with dealing with this BS on a daily basis. Once again, all good things come to an end. I can't say I'm getting what I paid for, since I'm paying no more for GMail.

MAIL.COM SERVICE SUCKS!

mail.com closed my account in March 2011 apparently because they were discontinuing the @teacher.com domain, but did give me about 10 days' notice before deleting the account. Prior to that, friends and colleagues told me they were getting "unknown user" bouncebacks when attempting to send me email. That happened intermittently for about two weeks before mail.com informed me they were closing the account. I'd had the account over ten years. I opened a new account with gmail, and signed up for pop and mail forwarding from mail.com to my new address at gmail for $3.99 per month. After mail.com closed the account, they kept billing me the monthly $3.99. I've had to dispute the charge with my credit card company 3 times now, and mail.com's online contact form is useless. I can't get a response, can't sign into the account they decided to close, and will not pay for a service that isn't being provided. Wrote them a real live U.S. mail letter today. Hopefully I won't have to dispute the charge every month for the rest of my life. Sorry to read the other stories here. Good luck to you!

I've been a customer with mail.com for 10 years. I have thew same problem - no service! My inbox does not receive e-mails and always registers a zero account. I know it is their servers because I have another mail.com account that works just fine. All I have ever gotten from Mail.com is an auto response. One of them told me that repeated queries would only delay getting the problem solved. This has been going on since February. Today is the 10th of June.
I don't think they care but they have lost my account I had to go to another provider just to do business. I could no longer wait for them.

Now four days without my e-mail with mail.com. Still no response from them.

I have had the same problem. I have not been able to log in for two days. Customer support will not help. They will not talk to me. My complaint e-mails have bounced back. I also have been a loyal customer for many years. What can we do?

I have been a mail.com user for the last two years and have had similar issues. I have been unable to log-in at times or other times it kicks me out when I finally get in. I have also not received emails from people and receive the same response when I have TRIED to speak to "customer service."

This has happened to me as well. Mail.com is complete garbage and when I first signed up for it, it was more user friendly until they adapted AOL style and now all of a sudden it looks closer to yahoo! Total junk. I feel your anger. My email addresses have disappeared, the ones for indiamail.com. Ridiculous!
