I would like to know why the free email site handbag. com has been closed down with very little notification. I have had this as my main email address for about 10years and am very disappointed to lose it

closure of email site

Yes, nealeo, I'd like to know the answer too. I'm in exactly the same boat, having had it as my main email address for around 10 years as well since it first started. Very disappointing. Such a hassle having to inform everyone, including lots of websites you are registered with (10 years is a lot of websites!!). Besides, I liked the format of it too. Although fairly basic, it did the job and was clear and simple to use. I find there's far too much going on in other email programs! Don't suppose we'll get any answers.....
I too would like to know why email was closed. I have been using the email for 10 years and was not even aware it was shutting until I could not access it today. Were we sent a mail about it? Most annoyed as I have loads of stuff in there that I need.
Agree completely with the posts above. I last checked my email at the weekend, and didn't see any message regarding closure of the site. It's only today when I've tried logging in and can't that I've known anything about this. It's very frustrating as I too have lots of information I need to access that is now going to take me ages to try and get re-sent from various companies and friends. It's poor management from handbag.com that we have not been given more notice and better communication about this - I will no longer be coming back to the site at all in future.
Great, thanks handbag ! Some notice would have been handy, guess ive lost everything now
I too am annoyed that the email site has been closed so quickly with, as far as I am aware, no notification. I've used the site regularly and like everyone else have 10 years of contacts listed. I am now having to hope that i can track down alot of friends by phone. The other contacts will probably be lost. I also have emails from a friend who has since died that i can no longer access and remember her and the times we had. In future I wont be accessing handbag.com.
I can not tell you how upset I am. I've lost everything . My holiday details and my photos of my family. Loads of personal stuff and my email address . OK I will give you my boots card points in return for my email.................
Is there an official response to the closure or a notice anywhere?? I came on here today and as a few of you guys have lost it all!!!
The National Magazine Company has bought handbag.com from Telegraph owners the Barclay brothers for close to �22m, according to sources.
I've only just seen this 
I need the stuff out of my email. I have legal things in there that I have to have access too. My ebay/%&*$#/FB are all linked through it. I didn't have a clue that they were getting rid of it.
Are HB selling up bit by bit or something? The whole site will disappear soon!
