Well, apparently it was a ’software bug’…
They sent me this reply

The Lycos Mail team investigated the issue that you experienced.

We truly do apologize for this experience and are working on making sure that this does not happen again moving forward.

At least my inbox is mine again.

This is rubbish. I have had my Lycosmail account for about 10 years since they began and now without warning they are asking me to pay. This is blackmail

Thanks for this post.. I’ve actually been investigating this for the last 15 minutes. My sister was using lycos (and being lazy to change providers) and now she can’t get in without paying an upgrade subscription fee. Apparently, this happened today..?

As for USA – based Lycos.com free email… Without notice it seems to have suddenly switched over to paid subscription. Leaving users suddenly no way to access their inbox unless they cough up $19.95.
Lame way to make money guys! You aren’t gonna win any fans with this strategy.

I still believe Carrie Prejean should have won the Miss USA 2009, and not Kirsten Dalton.

Carrie was looking stunning in her swimsuit http://www.yout...h?v=GI3N5CrIusE

My other half has just tried to access Facebook today (03/04/09) and as it uses his Lycos email as a login he now can’t get in. He didn’t have any email about closure and reckons he’s been accessing his email fairly regularly up until now. Facebook also doesn’t provide any way to change your login email if it suddenly becomes disabled. Any ideas guys?

Lycos was and is a Donkey shit

I have the same problem. Is there any way to know which country might be servicing my account? xxxxx@lycos.com, is that potentially a European address or strictly U.S.? Thing is, I learned of this just now, with pictures and you-name-its that have apparently now gone by the electronic rubbish bin.
As a non-paying, long-time leech customer, I apparently was not entitled to any sort of warning whatsoever. I will miss the pictures the most.
Someone had once commented years ago that Lycos was “Donkey shit.” Just the other day I was realizing that Lycos seemed to have gotten past all that. Now this.
I’ll miss the pictures the most.

For anyone looking for a quick and easy way to backup their Lycos email accounts (or Jubii, Tripod, Caramail and Multimania) we’ve setup a site to do this, here:

Lycosmailbackup.com

Good luck to all those Lycos users on the move!

“They (Lycos Europe) did provide instructions on how to download your stuff (database and php).”

Did they? their email download tool fails to start on every PC I own and they dont respond to emails. I dont call that support…

Wie Fan-Historie einfach verschwindet…

Wie schnell eine ganze Ära an Fan-Historie zu Ende gehen kann, zeigte die Nachricht, dass Lycos Europa sein Mail- und Webhosting-Angebot Tripod bis Mitte Februar schließen werde.

Auch wenn es “nur” die europäischen Seiten betrifft, war Tripod …
