Telstra abandons email users

[the australian 07.02.2002]

Apparently Telstra are shutting down their loss-making "easymail" service on March 13th ("email for the price of a local phone call" was the big catch cry when it launched a few years back), and will NOT be offering any kind of email forwarding option whatsoever. easymail's 250,000 users have only 3 weeks to notify their email buddies and to find a new email provider.
