I expected nothing less from the clowns at AOL. So sad the Phil Goldman's premature death threw the service into AOL's hands. They've done nothing but completely screw up since the beginning. Would have been nice to be able to retain our userid (since they did indicate they would retain MB as a premium service, but no .. we're invited to "join" the "free" service.

Why do I question the likelihood that the refund "check" will ever arrive

The Mailblocks Team has been busy creating the next generation free email service, called AIM Mail. AIM Mail is a free web-based email service with a sleek interface and a client-like feature set, based on Mailblocks technology that you’ve grown to love.

AIM Mail has the following advanced features:
- 2 gigabytes of account space
- industry-leading spam and anti-virus protection
- integrated address book
- an email address based on the AIM Screen Name
- seamless integration with the AOL Instant Messenger program
- accessibility using an email program (IMAP)
- and more coming soon

All Mailblocks customers can transition to the new AIM Mail service immediately, because the Mailblocks email service will be discontinued on November 16, 2005. Per our Terms of Service, we are providing 30-days advance notice. The Mailblocks email service will be discontinued on November 16, 2005 and any future email after that date will be returned to the sender. Once the account is closed, there will be no way to gain access to the account and all the data will be permanently deleted.

For the smoothest transition, we recommend you take the following steps immediately:
Create a new free AIM Mail account by going here.
Give your contacts your new AIM Mail address.
Move your emails from your Mailblocks account to your local computer. See instructions below.
Move your Contacts from your Mailblocks account to your new AIM Mail account. See instructions below.
As an alternative, currently paid Mailblocks accounts may be eligible for a full refund until November 16, 2005. To request a refund check, submit your full name, mailing address, phone number, birth date, Paypal address if you paid with one, and your account’s secret question/answer, using the contact form at http://contact.mailblocks.com. All information is required for validation of account ownership. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for check processing. You can check the authenticity of this email by going to the main Mailblocks web site.

We hope you’ve enjoyed your spam-free Mailblocks account. Thank you for your continued support of both Mailblocks and the new AIM Mail account. We apologize for any inconvenience this transition may cause and we hope you continue enjoying our free spam-and-virus-free email service from AIM Mail.
