According to email of 9/5/16

"I am writing to announce an important change in our Care2 services. Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to provide free webmail accounts to our members.

While Care2 has provided this service for free since our launch in 1998, the cost of maintaining the service has long since become prohibitive. Thus, effective October 1, 2016 we will no longer be able to provide email accounts to our members.

We apologize for this inconvenience - we know it’s challenging to change an email address. And, it’s sad for us to have to end this service that we’ve provided for so long. The good news is there are several excellent free email service providers (such as Google’s Gmail and Yahoo Mail) that provide reliable service and make it easy to transfer your account.

What this means for you:

* Your Care2 email address will no longer work as of October 1, 2016.

* If you wish to save and transfer all of your email and contacts, you will need to set up a new email address with a different webmail provider and transfer your messages to the new service.

* As of October 1, 2016 all emails and other information stored on Care2 webmail will be deleted by the company that manages the webmail service. All other Care2 services will remain fully functioning including petitions, ecards, butterfly rewards, etc.

See our FAQ page to learn how to set up an account with a new webmail provider, transfer all of your existing email and contacts, and even set up an automatic-reply on your current email account to notify everyone sending you a message of your new email address.

Because your Care2 webmail account will no longer work as of October 1, we encourage you to set up a new email address as soon as possible to give your friends and contacts time to update their address books with your new email information.

I sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you. We greatly appreciate your loyalty to Care2 and your dedication to using our email service for so many years - and Care2 is committed to ensuring you have as easy a path as possible to another email provider.

We appreciate your support for Care2 and our mission, and hope you will continue to support Care2 petitions and our incredible community dedicated to making the world a better place.

Sincerely,

Randy Paynter

Founder & President

Care2
