Yes. I’m with Westnet…20 years. They sent an email in June about it. I
also contacted the Messaging Company, but apart from an acknowledgment
that’s all for now.
I’m trying to decouple all the people I use that address for. I’m
hoping the year’s grace will allow me to track everything that is
connected to my westnet address…not always easy because some firms
require a recovery email different from your login one.

Hello Daniel,
I did the transfer to Messaging Co. and received a confirmation
from
them.
Do I need to do the same with my wife’s email address which is
included
in my iiNet account ?
Thanks,
Cheers

Thanks Daniel
Yep - I didn’t get an email from them either.
I guess we might have to look for a new ISP before September
2024

Hi All
An interesting piece of info was brought to my attention, and
to
be
honest I hadn’t seen it previously. - (definitely not an
email
from
iinet advising me of the change. Possibly an email will come
later
on
perhaps?)
Apparently iinet/TPG and all it’s subsidiaries (Westnet,
Internode
etc)
have decided they are no longer going to host their
customer’s
emails.
(And new customers signing up are not given an @ISP email
address).
They are moving it over to another business where they (the
ISP)
are
apparently paying for it for a year (up to Sept 2024 from
what I
can
gather), then after that if you then want to still keep using
your
@isp
email address, then you will have to pay for it. I haven’t
seen
any
plans as yet, but a few things I read said it could be “from
$3.99
per
email address per month). - though doesn’t show what the
quota
would
be.
Some other people had said to budget about $60 a year to keep
the
email
address.
The “notice” is on all the ISP websites, so for example on
the
main
iinet home page (and same for Westnet, TPG, Internode etc),
all
have a
link to information about it.
[5][7]https://help.iinet.net.au/iinet-email-messaging-company
Even the “new” company taking over (The Messaging Company),
website's
is fairly sparse on information.
Definitely going to be a bit of wake up call for a lot of
people.
Who
may have an @isp address for 20+ years, then find if they
want to
keep
it they now have to pay. And I’m sure the internet plans
won’t see
a
price decrease for the money saved on not supplying/hosting
email
addresses. Hey, I could be wrong,…but, well….time will tell.
(I have an @iinet address that I’ve had for about 22+ years
that
I’ve
been with them - not that I use it very much….but it’s
there).
I know I have quite a lot of clients that use their @isp
address,
so
definitely going to be a change for a lot of people.
Another good reason to have a domain name I guess, or a
“free”
email
address like @iCloud.com, @[8]gmail.com etc- then you can
change ISPs
without having to tell everyone your email address has
changed.
(As an aside, the price is about “normal” - as I looked at
some of
the
“email only” hosting plans I have for clients and a 10GB plan
is
$60 a
year per mailbox)
Definitely will be something to watch and see what happens
with
it.
Thought I’d post to the list as possibly others may not have
seen
or
been aware of this. :)
Kind regards
Daniel
