Thank you everyone.
I have opted in to The Messaging Company (I think following Daniel K’s
instructions).
I have changed my “send new mail address" in Apple Mail to
[1]bli...@mac.com
I will also keep my iinet address and review this when TMC decide to
start charging.
I guess I have a year to change email address for various
accounts/logins from my iinet one to my mac.com one.
Cheers

As I understand the situation, IINET or WESTNET are the internet
service providers and that won’t change.
One isn’t obliged to use @ iinet or @ westnet.
I haven’t used those addresses for several years and I’m happy with all
the apple addresses @me @ Mac @ iCloud.
Cheers

Hi Rod, I am with Westnet as my ISP - same org as iinet I
understand.
Westnet advised me a couple of months back too they are outsourcing
the
email management. This was received with big groans. However,
Westnet
(and iinet) are outsourcing the email management to The Messaging
Company. You have the choice to Opt In to their plan, in which case
they will manage the full migration of your Westnet (or iinet) Mail
accounts to The Messaging Company, but importantly you will keep
exactly the same email address afterwards. I have opted in as
making a
change to a different email address would be a huge undertaking
with
all the tangles with multiple other subscriptions, providers etc my
email address is associated with. Same to for the 4 other family
members in my family. I dug further into this - the first year of
email
management is free with The Messaging Company and then from year 2,
they will charge a fee for the email management. If I look at my
Westnet plan, the current email management fee will disappear form
day
1 after migration and thereafter. I don't know yet how much The
Messaging Company will charge from year 2.
You can ring the helpline for further details if other questions or
there is an FAQ page for the commonly asked questions.
Kind Regards
Peter Crisp

[WAMUG] Which Email address?
Hi Folks
So iinet email is shifting to another provider.
Please can you suggest which email address should now I use as my
primary address?
I currently use rb...@iinet.net.au
I have the following email addresses:
rb...@iinet.net.au
bli...@mac.com
bli...@icloud.com
I am thinking of making bli...@mac.com as my primary address
Thank you
