VM transferring email services to Junara

At the same time I decided to shut down my own servers and moved my email domains to use Hostinger. Both those providers had similar prices (about £1.50 per month).

At the start of this year I moved them all to another company, which costs me about 50p a month (and that includes both mine, my wifes, and CFs email).

I pay £3 for my hosting but he was part of the android /kodi scene so allows large file sharing as long as they are encrypted up to 50 GB each so worth keeping on

So that will be the final demise of my old accounts.

There are 3 price points and levels of storage for each private email mailbox, renewable either monthly or annually following the end of the 12 months free introductory offer (subject to a 99p transfer fee paid to Junara.)

Annual £59 Monthly £5.99 with 1GB storage.
Annual £79 Monthly £7.99 with 30GB storage
Annual £99 Monthly £9.99 with 100GB storage

Way too expensive.

If I were still on VM, I would take the free year and use it to move off their email addresses completely.
Since I'm not, I assume my old addresses will just cease to exist, not an issue, as they are not actually used anymore.

I left VM five years ago, my old @ntlworld address still worked until about a month ago. I assume that VM have finally managed to work this out and initiated a clean-up. Still I've had five years to move important stuff away from VM, no doubt there are one or two I've forgotten and it'll bite me in the backside at some point - cross that bridge when I come to it.

And yes, far, far too expensive - £6 a month for 1 Gig storage? The early 2000s are calling demanding their usage limits back!

Of course they are relying on people not wanting to lose their old email address and are prepared to pay whatever to keep it.

Started moving my emails to gmail/outlook a while ago. Ntlworld accounts were hacked several years ago thanks to a VM data breach, hence loads of junk/fishing mail. Good riddance, they can go swivel for charging for what others are providing for free.
