As a long time Bell Canada Internet subscriber, I have been experiencing some unwelcome issues with my email of late.
In short, bell is switching its email from a POP3 server set up to IMAP. (I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it does mean grief for me as a bell email subscriber.)
In short, of late, Bell has been dumping thousands upon thousands of old emails into my Outlook. At first, I thought it was "just one of those things" but the problem has persisted. Today, I got something like 15,000 emails, and to make matters worse, there are at least 5 or more copies of each and every email.
So my organization and cataloging of emails has been turned upside down.
I phoned Bell and they told me that YEP, basically they are emptying their servers of all old emails and just forwarding them to customers for them to handle. (Now I've already archived and filed my emails into relevant folders.)
So now all of a sudden, you have 15,000 emails in your inbox.
Jesus Christ.
So I call Bell and they have to deactivate one email account and create another using IMAP. (In the same name.)
Been on the phone with them 3 times today as the thing keeps seizing up. Now they're telling me that there is a problem with their system, blah blah blah.
And no more using hotmail to check your emails remotely, now it's bell.net. Which is no biggie I suppose, but all those emails that were on that server are now going bye bye.
