We're closing your O2 email
Why?
We used to give all our customers a free o2.co.uk email account. Some people used it, but lots didn't - preferring to use other email services like Gmail or Outlook accounts (Hotmail) instead. So, from 7 June 2016, all o2.co.uk email accounts will be closed. You won't be able to send or get emails using ***@o2.co.uk after this date. What about all my emails, attachments and contacts? We can show you how to transfer your contacts, email addresses and attachments to Gmail and Outlook accounts (Hotmail). Just make sure you move them before your o2.co.uk email account closes on 7 June. Unfortunately, we can’t transfer them to Yahoo! Mail, so you’ll need to set up either a Gmail or Outlook account (Hotmail) to move them to. We’ll be in touch again before 7 June, just to remind you of what’s happening. Until then, we hope this won’t cause too much trouble. All the best, The O2 Team |

Hadn't heard anything for uyears about it, they were one of the companies that provided a customised webmail interface.I think they had built it themselves so it is a shame to see it close.

Mine was shut down roughly April of last year; same message, exact same wording, only thing different was the date of termination. The service continued to work for a few days after as far as remote access via POP3 and SMTP, but eventually came to an unceremonious end...
