Email system closed

Due to abuse of the email system on virtual-swanage.co.uk, we have been forced to close the free email facility on this website. Please can all the users sign up with an alternative service such as googlemail or hotmail for their email needs.

We are sorry about the short notice of this change but due to the system being used for identity theft, it had to be removed due to a pending investigation and therefore all accounts had to be removed.

Sorry to see it go but it was free anyway and if people are using it to defraud you, I dont blame you for removing the facility.

It's a pity. It was such a fine service to have.
But now what do I do to get back all the messages I had stored? There was important stuff and email addresses for me there.
Please help me out!

I am sorry but we no longer have access to the system as the fraud is currently being investigated. I dont know how long this will take or if we will be able to login to the old email system again in the future.

Hi Brian, sad to hear of this. Seems that whatever good anyone does these days, someone else will always come along and spoil it. I'm glad I;m not young any more.....

Hi Brian,
what a nuissance! So you can't somehow just re-open the service if even for just a day, for legal users to get there things out?
Let's hope the investigation will give a positive result and all of us will be able to use it again in the near future.
Keep up the good work!

If we reopen the service it would have to be on a different account and domain and therefore all email accounts would need to be made again as new accounts.
