Started with Freeserve fifteen years ago and it was tolerable then, but things have got steadily worse. I use it, as others do, mostly when making on-line purchases - it gets all the spam - and delete in blocks every now and again. When I log on it says "password incorrect" - but still logs me in anyway. So much for security! It is utterly useless at filtering spam, no matter how many times you flag files up, so you have to keep on deleting the same messages over and over again. Yesterday the login page had changed and this time really wouldn't accept my password. I changed the password 'successfully' (at least it recognised me as a member) and tried again. Success! I got in, only to find all mail contacts had disappeared, along with all the mail, albeit spam! I am not even going to bother to try to contact Lycos - they were useless at support in the past - and for me this is the final straw. This is one free email service best to avoid!
