There might be such a convention now. There absolutely was not such a convention 20 years ago when he registered it.
On top of that, the refusal to move the mail to a new address is abusive. It's not that difficult to do. So he's in the sad situation of having decades of mail deleted. Because "fuck you, Eastlink screwed up, and you're going to pay for it"
How any can defend such actions is beyond me.

That's why I said it was bad luck. >How any can defend such actions is beyond me. Just to be clear, I'm not defending the manner with which they took his account. He is (was?) their customer for 20 years and they should give him ample time to make arrangements. I'm simply stating that I understand why they would want to regain control of that email.
- adekok 9y agoI appreciate the clarification, but I'm sure you understand how I understood "It was a reasonable decision by Eastlink." as supporting all of their actions.
