-eye twitch- Important Contact Info Change...
12 years ago
From now on, do not send me email to "shayla1@sbcglobal.net." ATT are assholes and decided to delete my email without warning. From now on, my email will be "Shayla.Furykin@gmail.com" and I will be changing my other accounts over ASAP.
Unfortunately, this also means they deleted my YIM account. I will send out PM's to people I regularly contact there, but until this is resolved or I make a new Yahoo account, my YIM is out of commission. I'll try to do streams at least every other day, so people can always chat with me through the stream chat.
I'm highly irritated. That email is the only one I have used for over a decade. There are YEARS of my life saved on that email - all my photos, all my contacts, my only means of contacting MANY people, not to mention the literally thousands of saved emails with all my information on every online account I've ever made, my Yahoo groups, my calendar, my saved emails from Dad, EVERYTHING IS GONE.
Apparently, ATT are just jerks and have decided to delete old email accounts that use the old endings like "sbcglobal" or "southernbell" and so on. It's not just me; it's literally millions of email accounts they're closing. If you have one, save all your info elsewhere NOW. They gave me NO warning at all, they have hundreds of phone numbers for help but NONE for email help, and the old addresses like mine are not able to remade because the extensions have been closed.
I just lost a ton of my life history, and I'm really hoping if I can ever FIND these people's phone number that they can restore it or at least move everything to a different email. As it stands, I just lost ALL my contact information for everyone unless I happen to have your phone number. ;.=.; It also means no one can contact me. I gave that email to Social Security, my bank, my PayPal, all my friends, every other site I've ever joined, WIC, all my rewards cards, all the people I've been in contact with about Dad, the estate sale, selling his house, selling the RV, craigslist, my doctors' offices, and probably a hundred other places... Now I will get NONE of those emails, and they have no forwarding email address...
I don't know what to do... I'm just... In shock... -sobs- ;.=.;

When a place closes accounts like that they're supposed to supply a new and updated one.
Actually, most email sites say in their fine print that they have the right to discontinue the site without warning, meaning any one of your email accounts could potentially disappear like this if that site goes out of business. In my case, "sbcglobal" no longer exists. It was an extension of ATT a long time ago, and now it looks like they're getting rid of it.
and I'm thinking about buying an external disk, to make a security copy from my hard disk. prevention is never enough
