yes, but the email headers can tell whether it has been bouncing around on the MRB server for a month or not. In any case, if they terminate you on June 1st they are giving you much more than 30 days. That's a lot more notice than some very big mail failures over the years.

Just discussion.

"Netmail Community arose from our desire to engage in conversation about compliance, security, and other issues affecting business email today. Join the conversation!"

Looks like they don't feel they can make money from non-business customers, but they'll listen to their ideas.

Yes, it absolutely is back-dated. How strange.

Please try again in a few minutes

At the risk of beating a dead horse... I can't connect via the MyRealBox web interface today. I just get "Access to this server currently disabled
Please try again in a few minutes."

It is too bad that so many mail providers have thrown in the towel.

Yes, I've been getting the same thing for the last two days from their web interface.
No errors when I pop them via Thunderbird, though let me check...no, can't connect anymore to send via them.
I've just sent a test email TO my MRB account from another, let's see if that bounces.

Well they always have had their testing periods and their down periods. Let us know when they are permanently down if it is premature.

Actually, I received that test I just sent to myself @myrealbox.com via POP3 OK.
So it's not quite dead yet.

And they're outta here

True to their word, I can see their login page for webmail but cannot log in anymore.
And can't POP them either.

"So long and thanks for all the fish" indeed.

It looks like they have taken down the main web page as well now. I would have thought they would leave it up for a while to keep the "what happened" inquiries down to a minimum.
