I forgot my password and it asked me to fill out an email form and wait for somebody to respond. It has been hours and still not resolved. Also when I tried to set up email forwarding, can't save the set up. Horrible.
I would be willing to bet money that each of the few GOOD reviews for them were posted by employees or someone benefitting from their crookedness. Within hours of signing up I was already unable to access my account. Thankfully it was only a few from surveys I had taken.
This is the worst email service provider I ever came across. They just block email accounts with one stupid reason "Our System has detected Irregular Activities..." my 3 account to get blocked to date when all I use it for registering for some stream services. They don't want to unblocked it so I don't have any choice and emails from subscriptions I made are now lost. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CROOKED COMPANY!
Initially Mail.com did a fine job of isolating spam mails because there were few incoming to deal with. However, in the last few months I have gotten a ton of spams because of the failure of an organization to shield its e-mails sent to members. I suspect there is a limit to how many spam domains and addresses Mail.com can retain in memory. I am getting many more in my inbox and suspect that the system has reached the limit of its capacity to filter incoming emails through 1000s of previous spam sources. I will need to open a new email account to get out of this bad situation.
Mail.com should be avoided by everyone. While I was asleep, Mail.com informed me my account was blocked due to "irregular activity related to your account". I filled out their online form to regain access and they replied saying that my account would be closed permanently.
I used this account for my all my email, saving a number of critical emails in my online folders and have lost access to everything. The company says they are unable to offer any explanation what so ever as to what occurred. Because of their silence, I have no idea what occurred, nor do I know if there was a wider security breach to which I need to take precautionary measures.
Their response to this has been horrible and unacceptable. As an email service this represents 100% unreliability and I recommend that mail.com be avoided by everyone.
AVOID MAIL.COM. I erred in not reading enough reviews when I signed up there. Big mistake.
I've had both free and premium accounts with mail.com, until I noticed that a lot of emails I was *supposed* to receive would never arrive. I had used it as my primary personal email for a little over a year with a premium account not very many issues the first year, but going into year two of premium, I had a lot of issues. From not being able to cancel the subscription due to lack of funds, to my emails never arriving or taking days to arrive, it was just a total mess. So I finally was able to cancel that account and tried a new account to see if that would get emails... I think you can guess what happened. (Same thing happened, if you were unable to guess). That was a few years ago, but I still wouldn't recommend them as it sounds like they've just gotten worse in the approximately 2 years it's been since I last had an account with them. Look up their reviews in Google play or here if you don't believe me. They now disguise ads as emails to get people to click/tap on them.
I signed up and switched all my business emails to this, and they suddenly blocked my account saying there was unusual activity on it (absolute rubbish), when I emailed support I was just told it would remain blocked but they can't give me a reason! Thank goodness I only had it a couple of days, but I still can't access emails I will have received in that time. Wish I'd seen these reviews before I signed up, do NOT use them what a huge waste of my time, fuming! Stay away!
I tried to sign on to my account and got a message with something about strange activity to my account and to contact them. I contacted them and they sent a form letter response about trying all of these other ways to get into my account & to respond to their email if nothing worked. Totally ridiculous since nothing listed applied. Anyway, I did respond and no response within a reasonable time. DO NOT USE!
My account had been blocked by mail.com since March 2017. I contacted their customers service to help solved my issue by unlocked my email account, they asking me for money. One of their technician with strong Indian/Pakistani accent asked me to buy iTunes card for $100. Dubious and scammed crookeds.
Until recently, not bad for a free email option, but now Sophos is rejecting emails originating from mail.com. Too bad if you are trying to send email to a server protected by Sophos.
After being with this email provider for about ten years I am finally shutting down my account! It was a decent service before Taboola got hold of it. Now it is full of unwanted rubbish advertising and constant spam that is directed into your account in the hope of conning you into buying some useless product or bogus service. Utter rubbish company - Do what I did close the service and move to an ethical email provider.
I would give them a one star if i could don't use mail.com they're the worst email website out there they blocked my account for no reason at all
I think I accidentally deleted my account. I accept I will lose all my emails, but would like the account to be reinstated. I have send three contact forms in three days, and not even a response. The promo web page has three paragraphs. The Headings:
1. Were always here for you!
2. Customer Support is our main priority
3. Customer satisfaction comes first at mail.com
Clearly the advertising department has no concept of what is actually happening!
Mail.com is fine I like there security but I just started mail.com but it seems good.
I do like it so far but the best thing about it is you don't need a phone number like aol but aol is pretty good.
I am an amazon seller and own some of the brands. I signed up for mail.com paid service in the hope this will be great. Their security team blocked my account due to suspicious activity at 9 AM approximately on Sept 5th 2017. I logged two cases and called twice and was told that the case has been escalated to Level 2 Tech support, which by the way is never available on phone. As of 9 PM the account is still blocked with no access to my emails. I have no idea how much is this mistake of using them is going to cost my business probably atleast 50 unhappy customers and atleast revenue worth 5- 7k.
Have you ever heard of paid email service that doesn't have any tech that you can talk to. I can call my cellphone company and complain about something and get facetime with a support tech. Please never use their email!
Don't bother. Use gmail. Everything is awful. The search function is very limited. I was switched automatically years ago and barely bother to check it. I keep it now just in case.
I am using it for 5 years - not happy at all! Oftem I have differend problems with scam, sending images or files. Messages can't be delivered.
I opened 'premium' account and after few days my account was blocked with no reason.
Customer support not the answer more two weeks.
No money, no email.
Stay away!
Emails aren't delivered/received until hours after sending. Hours. Not seconds, not minutes. Hours. These are plain text email, no extra code, images or attachments. Once received they're dated/time-stamped as if they were sent instantly. Ridiculous. One can assume this to be intentionally coded so as to encourage premium subscription. You cannot rely on Mail.com to send and receive text emails.
Answer: Sane happened to me after paying for premium service for more than a decade.
