I never used my ProZ email, but I did create an account a long time ago just because. Today I tried to log into the account via the link accessed through the drop down menu at the top of the ProZ page and got this:

I suppose I must have missed the memo at some point so my question is, is it official that ProZ no longer provides web mail, and if so, should the link continue to appear in the drop down menu?

Not sure when that went into effect, but it looks like it should be removed from the dropdown Jul 12, 2017

Hello Lincoln,

I'm not sure when Everyone.net (the third party provider of the free web mail) did that. If they are no longer offering free web mail then yes, it would make sense to remove it from the drop down menu. Thanks for reporting.

Apparently announced in January of this year, went into effect in March Jul 13, 2017

Just an update. Looking around, it appears that Everyone.net announced this change in January of this year via email to account holders. This was the announcement I found:


EVERYONE.NET CHANGE OF PUBLISHER MAIL SERVICE

Prior to this on Thursday, February 23rd, 2017 free Publisher Mail users will have their ability to send email through web mail disabled. Free Publisher Mail users will be notified of the upcoming changes through web mail. The benefits of Mail Plus Total Protection include:
