Lycos: Free emails will be discontinued - you should note that
The Lycos Labi can still look at us with such good faith - the time of free emails is over. The free email offer from Lycos will be discontinued from May 15, 2018.
Lycos: Close email account
Lycos was one of the first major internet platforms to offer a free email account. The distinctive trademark of Lycos was a Labrador. Lycos probably wants to hold on to the Labi, but not the free e-mail accounts.
- Lycos will end the free email offering in a few days. According to Lycos, the advertisements no longer generate enough profit, so the free emails were canceled. If you would like to maintain your Lycos email account, you have the option to switch to the paid offer. To do this, however, you must contact Lycos in good time.
- However, the mail account is not cheap. Lycos requires around 4 euros for a month. The annual subscription still costs around 16 euros. You will receive a 5 gigabyte e-mail storage and will be spared annoying advertising. You can get an ad-free and, above all, secure e-mail account from some German providers at a much cheaper price, starting at just one euro per month.
- If Lycos' paid service is too expensive for you, the Internet service provider will block your mail account from May 15, 2018. To ensure that your emails do not run out of steam, inform your contacts in good time.
- If you still have mails stored at Lycos that are important to you, upload them to your hard drive in good time using an email client. A very popular and free email client is, for example, Thunderbird from Mozilla. Also remember to back up your saved contacts.
