  1. I can still log in to webmail with my username and password. IMAP is not working (repeatedly asks for my password). I'd like to make a backup of my data before you kill it.

    In case no one provides a better answer, here's one option:

    1. Log into webmail
    2. click the "folders" icon on the top row
    3. select a folder
    4. from the "choose action" menu, select "download folder(s)"

    Note: This is for emails. You may also want to save other things such as address book. If so, please mention that and hopefully someone will have an answer for you.

    I'm not sure what software you would need to make use of the download, but unless someone can offer a better option, it's better than not having a copy of the emails at all.

    Another option, if it's just a few important emails, is to forward each email somewhere. Just this morning I logged into webmail and forwarded one that I had somehow misplaced previously.

    Whatever you do, I would suggest doing it as soon as possible.

  2. What they're effectively saying is that the days of fighting spam are over. Right?

    There's no need for us to hang around any more ... no need for us to track down the cyber criminal and correct Spamcop's mistakes or inability to actually see the "real" criminal at work. They no longer see the need to warn other people about the dangers of this or that post ... they're assuming everyone already knows about spam and phishing, stalker and predator links, malware and so forth. We no longer have to warn people not to download that embedded file, or that those Wells Fargo checks are not really checks.

    I don't know whether to be happy to give up the fight, or sad that I know nothing really has changed.

    :(

    I'd encourage you to keep at it. I've been reporting spam that gets to my hotmail account for about 15 years and am have just recently started seeing days where it doesn't get spam. If this is any indication, change takes time.

  3. No, the forum is actually owned by the guy who owns/runs the email system--not all that separate at all. I sent an email to the "questions" address, which opened a ticket and he hasn't responded. He's clearly dodging questions about refunds. I'm thinking he might pull the plug on the forums as well.

    Does anyone know if there is any plan for the forums? Although the email service is going away, it seems like there will still be a need for some kind of communication regarding the reporting system.

    Is there a discussion somewhere I missed? Or is this even the right forum for my question? Thanks!
