I had free accounts there until about 10 years ago when they forced me to close them. I think I had the option to pay and keep them, but I’m cheap and would not consider paying. They gave me about a month to close out and save what I wanted.
Yeah, I remember the ending of free accounts. I had such an email history that I decided to foot the $9.95/year bill for the paid account.
I really, really liked the user interface of Lycos mail.
I guess is was just me and the other guy. (we still kept in touch from time to time.) :)
Thankfully, I had Lycos set up on the mail app on my iphone, so it has them all captured until last Wednesday, when I got my last email.
