Some months back, Bruce Schneier had an excellent article on the security risks resulting from the inability to terminate online accounts.

I, too, was a MailBank customer. I got a personalized email address and URL back in 1996 or so. When I was just a rookie web developer, MailBank did just fine. But they never grew. They still don't offer a hosting package that includes sever-side scripting, databases, includes, or anything of the sort. Just plain old HTML.

I am still a customer with them. In the last few weeks, they "upgraded" their web mail interface. The new interface is *so* clunky, that I've stopped using it. They are trying to keep up with the likes of Yahoo and Google, but the change is actually a lot worse than it was before. I've given up on it and use another service, with a better interface, and simply pull my email off netidentity.

I believe someone at NetIdentity became aware of this post somehow and took action.

NetIdentity was purchased by Tucows in June, and their problems began within a month of that date. A lot of NetIdentity subscribers lost their POP access since then, along with you. You can believe me when I tell you that no Tucows employee at NetIdentity is sufficiently aware of anything to take action. Check my blog for more details, or read the posts at the NetIdentity Transition Survivors Group.
