Dear Lycos Mail Users,
Thanks to your input, Lycos Mail is about to become the coolest free email service on the planet! Over the next few weeks, we will be automatically upgrading, in a totally secure manner, all your user account information to a NEW and EXCITING Lycos Mail product. Your account will now have, as a minimum, an industry-leading 3 gigabytes of storage space and you'll be able to send and receive file attachments large enough to share a summer vacation's worth of photos and videos in one email -- plus a whole lot more!
The best part is you don't have to do a thing - by being a current member of Lycos Mail, you are already signed up for all of the new features. Sound good to you? We thought so. So, welcome to the new Lycos Mail.
And now, the mini-FAQ:
When will Lycos upgrade my account? We anticipate that Lycos will be individually upgrading all Lycos Mail accounts during the period between June 11th and June 26th. There is nothing for you to do as Lycos will automatically upgrade your account for you. Your e-mail, address books and mail preferences will all stay the same. We estimate the upgrade process for your individual account should be complete within a few hours. You won't miss a beat when it is completed.
What if I am paying for a premium plan or premium services? If you are a Plus user, you will continue to be a Plus user, and in addition to the other benefits of a Plus account, your storage will be increased to 5 gigabytes. If you have been paying for account preservation, you will continue to be an account preservation user. We will no longer be charging for additional storage as all users will now have a minimum of 3 gigabytes of free storage.
Will all account aliases continue to work? After the upgrade, @lycos.com, @mailcity.com and @eudoramail.com accounts will continue to be supported.
What do I need to do? Nothing. Just wait until your account is upgraded and then start using all of the new features. During this upgrade process, you may find that you do not have access to your account for a few hours, but no new, or existing mail will be lost. Your new messages will be available to you the next time you log in. We plan to make this transition as quick and as smooth as possible.

The Lycos Mail Team
