Re: Guilty Secret

I've still got a RocketMail account from the mid-90's which theoretically should still exist with Yahoo (Yahoo bought them to create their own webmail service just after Microsoft bought Hotmail). They promised it would never be deleted, I wonder if it's still there? Lets find out!

Flipping heck it's slow. It's about as slow as when I was on dial-up....

Ok, signed in, still waiting for it to load mail...

Awwww "Setting up your mailbox

A new mailbox is being created, as the old one has been inactive for more than 12 months." So my account is still active, but they deleted my mail. Well, maybe, still signing in...

"Server Connection Closed

Description: The server requested closed the connection before the transaction was completed."

Nope, no retro mail for me today, but they have at least kept my account, like they promised over twenty years ago.

Brilliant work there Yahoo :/

Edit "We are experiencing some technical difficulties Temporary error: 15"
