Well I would suggest that you pick a better email client!

I can’t believe that after being a Lycos customer for over 5 years now, I haven’t received even a warning mail! This is a scandal. I’m waiting for very important email. What do I do now?

Having the same problem too with the facebook/lycos saga!
If anybody finds a solution, can they please let me know, i’m missing my facebook dearly and do not want to set up a new page loosing all my contacts, photos messages etc.

Ive emailed facebook 3 times now with no responce. You would think a multi-national company like facebook would have a better service for technical problems.

Fingers crossed we dont all lose our pages.

Becki/Jack i have the same problem with not being able to access my facebook account as my lycos address is now invalid! I’m stuck on what to do. I’ve e-mailed facebook but no reply!! Surely we shouldn’t have to set up a new account, i’m going to keep on e-mailing facebook til something gets sorted!

If you need to contact facebook their email is: info@facebook.com

If we all keep e-mailing them with the same problem then they might sort it out!!!

Becki! The same thing is happening to me! I was able to use facebook just couple of days ago and suddenly I can’t anymore. I been trying to contact them but you need your old log in email to do it… FRUSTRATING

Lycos gave very little notice. They claim there was a lot of prior publicity about their site closing but I didn’t see any of it. So unfortunately I lost all my emails and worst several contact addresses. No wonder there were no buyers for most parts of the company. They won’t be missed.

I originally had my account with mailcity.com in fact I still type it in and it refers me to mail.lycos.com. My question is will I still be able to access my account? Im based in europe but use the world site of lycos.com. Peter Harrison

Lycos Europe is closing, which effects lycos.co.uk, but I haven’t seen any news about lycos.com.

Hi,

I have had Lycos mail for many years now and used it for professional uses.

I haven’t heard or received any communication from Lycos about an impending closure. Do you know if this will affect me?

I am based in Europe, the account was made through http://mail.lycos.com/

If it’s closing, I need to recover my emails, how shall I do that?

Thank you for your feedback,
Manuel Trindade
