Mine were out for a few hours, but they are all functional again. I don't think that the plug has been pulled just yet.

both of my accounts (@null.net and @mail.com) aren't working anymore since today 7:08 AM CET.
I got the notification that the trial period of premium features is ending on both of these accounts.

Help! Just tried to log in to my mail.com account and it says login error. I wasn't aware that they were going to change this mail.com thing, and now i lost all my important emails?

I should try again soon. My premium account and non-premium accounts are all working OK.

Story , welcome to the POP Peeper Forums . I hope your data is not lost .
Many of us have received the notification about the end of service for Mail.com/Imap/POP3 accounts , now giving a date (~30 days) to be effective . It is explicitly said the accounts will be cleared without alternatives .
If you have these msgs stored in PP , you may want to forward them to another account you have (in a strong server , preferably using Imap) ; that is what I am performing now , for each msg I consider important to keep .

.
This is a precautionary suggestion for those who still have active in PP any Mail.com/Imap/POP3 free accounts .
The objective is to prevent a total loss in the case the Server decides to clear out the DB before closing the account (i.e. before giving Login Error on PP checkmail) :
1- in PP Options > General tab >
mark the box "Enable Advanced Options" >
click OK .
2- edit each Mail.com PP account > Advanced tab :
--- in the box "Retrieval Option" select "Entire Message" .
---
UNmark the last box "Remove Messages not on Server" >
click Update .
3- take periodic backups of PP (see
PP Backup FAQ , or activate "Run Backup\Restore" in Options menu if you have the
PP Premium Add-on Pack) .
