Lycos Mail www.lycos.com

we are getting annoying adverts popping up on lycos mail

06-16-2016, lycos EMAIL (not 'mail') has been down for over 24 hrs again, and last week ALL EMAILS FOR ALL LYCOS END USERS WERE DELETED. Gone were all folders, all emails, all filter rules. It was only restored after 6 long days. SIX DAYS WITH EMAIL BEING DOWN IN 2016. I mean it's 2016 not 1995 but they run it like it's 1985. LYCOS IS AN AMATEUR OUTFIT THAT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT RELIABILITY. Just look at the overall result of all the independent and unbiased reviews of lycos on this website (over 150 reviews). Lycos has a rating of 1 out of 5 based on over 150 unbiased reviews. They have a BBB rating of "F". LYCOS OWNERS AND MANAGERS DO NOT LISTEN. Even if they somehow get it working again, next the "user interface" is going to be completely "changed" all around again, for the 5th time, for no reason. It's an epidemic, software companies changing things for no reason, and placing reliability at #10 instead of #1.

I've used it for more than 12 years. There has always been some issues with logging in, slowliness, text display, slow spam filtering. Now, I have not been able to log in for 2 days. I am done. I just hope it comes back for long enough to retrieve some information and register everything to a different email/provider. They don't even bother to acknowledge the issue and post updates on the main customer support page.

What's wrong with the people at Lycos. Why do they not keep the mail site reliable. It's been 8 days and no mail. This is so frequent. I made the mistake and relied on it for business.

I guess lycos just couldn't catch up with Google mail or Hotmail. While the new lycos interface is okay with the latest change, they obviously did not pump in much money for the mail system. Which I usually receive mail in minutes, now the mail do not reach me until hours later.

I need an mobile app, too. Who would use a computer to access their emails these days?

Lycos mail is down yet again. i am receiving mail , however i cant send e-mail yet again. This is over a week now.

When it was MAILCITY years ago in the 11990's it always worked.

This is possibly worst e-mail available. Do not recommend for anybody.

LYCOS 0 out of 0 for service.

Horrible. Many functions did not work, including spam blocking and just so many ordinary functions half working or not working. I struggled with utterly outrageous support responses for like a year. Finally they simply closed the account without warning saying it wasn't used, which was incorrect, while not fixing any of the things I struggled with them about. They even said they could not fix them because some other company makes their stuff, and contacting them was useless also. Lycos is horrible. I see reason why anyone should use it now. No wonder it gets a 1 star here from others!

They were once a good quick easy way to put a quick confirmation mail site,

now they are horrible.

I have always had issues with LYCOS I use it for any on line inquiries and use Gmail for regular email. Got fed up wit the regular 'we're having a temporary issue with Login' or not recognising my password or putting me through to a form page to fill in so that I can be charged for teis substandard service.

Poor, but at least they are consistent

With Lycos recently changing its webmail setup, text wrapping has disappeared, each line needs to be terminated by using the return key other wise the lines overwrite each other. When sending the mail that appears as correctly formatted in the compose email display, the display for the recipient will be,however, all over the place.

I have wasted hours to fix this problem to no avail.

Pretty disappointing
