Mum's Migrating from Eclipse, keep pop3 email ?

Hi,
My Mum's Migrating from Eclipse, can she keep her pop3 email ?
i scanned their site, they have webmail, and i emailed them to ask,
but not heard anything back as yet.

she really doesn't want to lose her @eclipse.co.uk email address.
any ideas anyone please ?

Hi Mark, don�t panic! Over time I�ve had four broadband ISP�s and I�m able to use the email services with all of them to this day without any problems. Get Eclipse working with dial-up and for certain her email address will be retained and continue working.

There are two early 1990 dial-up accounts I do not use Compuserve and Netscape, but find even they are available for webmail use if I want them.

E7er - are you 100% certain that is the case with Eclipse? It is down to the ISP and they may close the email at the same time as closing the account (in fact the email could be directly a part of the account).

I don't know about Eclipse but I wouldn't be 100% confident in saying that all ISPs allow you to keep email after leaving them.

Newnet kill it the minute they know the migration has completed.

An elderly friend was with Eclipse until about 2-3 years ago when she got Alzheimers so I helped her husband to close her Eclipse account. The email account disappeared within days as I recollect.

It's worth a post on the Eclipse forum as they keep an eye on that Forum and usually reply within a day or two.

Thanks E7er .. i guess i should have asked them as i've just spent nearly half an hour with their tech support - as my BT phone line is dead and my brain is after the long dreadful day i've had..

Thanx cheshire_man, thanks folks .. i've changed ISPs over the last 20 years or whatever it is (FidoNet anyone?) several times, but i always bore this email thing in mind. hhmmm. still waiting for Eclipse to respond. will try on their forum, nice folks that they are..

In case my post wasn't as helpful as it could have been, I meant the Eclipse forum here on TBB

Get yourself a cheap email hosting solution from 1&1 or TSO and the like and that problem will never arise again.
