Excite.com email ending August 31
 

I've used them for probably 15 or 20 years now. They say I can migrate to their host's email service Bluetie for a small annual fee, which I don't mind, but my email address will change. Change to what? As in instead of ABC@excite.com what would my new address be? What happens if someone sends a message to my old address after Aug 31st?

I never heard this email service. is it like aol.com?

If you consider migration, welcome to tls-mail.com, I promise you the next 10 years. :)

It was one of the first web portals and then became one of the first search engines. Looks like they also provided email service.

Thats sad they are stopping thier service......

I hope Bluetie will honor Excite users to keep the @excite.com domain. I have used Excite since they started way back in the 90s, and I will like to keep my @excite email if possible.

No they won't. That's my gripe. Will have to change the email address at dozens of places I use this Email for and notify dozens of people of a new email address. What happens to places and people I forgot about or haven't communicated with in years if they try to reach me in the future? Who knows.

That's a shame. :(

I guess it's really goodbye then.

Its sad people dont change thier minds be4 doing something like this,its really sad.........

It’s all about money, they want to charge you to switch @bluetie.com just to keep the username?

No, I don’t think I will.

I think the excite.co.Uk site was one of my very first email accounts - shame to see it going.

only one week remaining
 

Hello Everyone,

Yes. Excite.com email is going away on 12/31/2021. Yes. BlueTie is charging for the service AND you need to change your email to @bluetiehome.com address. The unfortunate reality is that we were not given the option to continue using the @excite.com domain despite all attempts to negotiate for it. So sorry about that. The benefit of buying the upgrade is that you will be able to receive to your @excite.com address for one more week (regain access to your social accounts, bank accounts, etc and get the primary address changed before time runs out); you will retain all of your original email if your account was not previously purged (contact us to find out); and you will get some of the best service around; for a very low annual fee. Find out how to upgrade here: https://signup.bluetiehome.com and if you have questions, please write to us at support@bluetiehome.com.

Thanks!

Yes it IS sad..


Welcome :)
