   26 Oct 16 14:52, you wrote to me:   
      
    EV> Would You know about any changes to United Online to cause their Free   
    EV> Email Accounts to get dropped?   
      
   sorry, i do not... i know they combined into one entity and changed their   
   terms so that their software used your CPU's idle time which they then sold as   
   a massive computer... distributed processing type stuff like distributed.net   
   and BIONC but this was required if you wanted to use their services... it   
   is/was one way for them to make money for you using their free services...   
   aside from that, i wasn't able to find out anything to the questions   
      
     what happened to my juno email account?   
     what happened to my netzero email account?   
      
   there's a wikipedia page on them but it doesn't say very much... i suspect   
   that if the account wasn't accessed for some period of time or the new terms   
   of service we not agreed to at some point, they just dropped them as inactive   
   accounts... their customer support would be better able to help if you are   
   serious about finding out what happened... TBH, personally speaking, i   
   wouldn't worry about them...
