AggieNetwork.com email accounts

Due to Google's continued changes to its Workspace for Education program, and based on security recommendations from industry experts, The Association is unable to continue offering AggieNetwork.com branded email accounts. Anyone with a personal @AggieNetwork.com email account must remove any emails and files they wish to keep by March 31, 2024, when the accounts will be deleted.

Don't think since the last nerf to the storage accounts. Crazy they're getting rid of them now.

They ruined it when they took away the storage. The email is worthless so shouldn't matter if they dump it.

Well sh*t. My @aggienetwork email address has been my main one for almost 10 years.

Are they not going to email the changes out to account holders?

So we're basically losing our emails and there's nothing we can do about it?

Seems that way. I've been considering a move to protonmail or something like it anyway but I didn't want to go through the hassle. I guess this may seal the deal though

Forward the emails you need to the new address. Sucks that's the only way.

The problem is all of the saved emails and subfolder I've created in the last decade of use

I used Proton for a while before using my Association email. It's a great option. Might go back to it.

The Association needs to provide us with a solution.

The article's link shows how to transfer the emails to another Gmail account, which is probably the easiest method since old & new email accounts are moved within the same Google ecosystem.

At minimum, this can be done to avoid losing old emails after the deadline. Then switching to Proton Mail or whatever can be done later without time constraints.

The transfer process at least for me did not work well. Email was scattered, sub folders (labels) didn't copy, new labels were created in the process. It was a mess

If every email I've ever sent or received were deleted right now, it probably wouldn't affect my life much.

Like someone above said, once they got rid of the free storage the account wasn't worth much. Won't miss it.

Maybe a stupid question, but when my iPhone, iPad, or laptop download the emails onto the devices, would those emails remain on those devices after the account goes to the afterlife?

If the email was configured with "POP" settings, the emails will be on the devices. If it uses "IMAP", the email remains on the server & will be lost once the account closes. Google does have a way to export the emails.

Keep an eye on protonmail deals this week. I'm on a pretty solid plan that also includes their vpn.

The lack of advance notice is pretty galling.

Wouldn't have hurt. Also could have used a direct notification instead of finding out about it here.

Were you told by them directly? Or did you find out on Texags, like the rest of us?

No notice has been given as of yet, fyi.
