Tiscali EMail Account Holders




IMPORTANT INFO






Many of you have Tiscali EMail accounts and some have recently received notification that Orange has taken over this provider.
Information is somewhat unreliable as the notification states that after 30th September your incoming mail will be transferred to a new account with Orange but using the same User Name and Password.
It also states that this account has already been set up and ready to use. Both Heather and I have been working to establish if the accounts are working and as yet there does not seem to be a POP for orange correo.
If Tiscali is your only active EMail account, I suggest you take urgent action now to establish another EMail account and advise your contacts accordingly.
Those of you who use Tiscali as a dial-up then I suggest you also setup another Dial up connection with another free server.
I will post some notes to the blog but I hope you understand this is a mammoth task to cover all options.
Heather has posted below how to set up a Spanish Yahoo EMail account and change the language to English.
I will soon post how to create another Free Dial up connection and create a GMail account linked to Outlook Express.
Most importantly if you have registered a tiscali email account as your contact with any service (Skype, ADSL provider, Airlines,Newsletters, Mag subscriptions, Web Mail etc) these will have to be notified. Frequently lost or forgotten passwords are retrieved by re-sending the info to your registered email account. If that account is defunct then password retrieval is not possible.
