Statistics speak for themselves and the staff team collectively decided that it is not worth it spending so much bandwidth and effort maintaining full email hosting when barely anyone uses it. The people who do use it? They just use it to create alts and bypass other services' terms...

I held it off as long as I could, all accounts are now permanently deleted. Not a single person reached out to staff for any kind of assistence, so this proves our point further: This was an unwanted feature that we correctly decided to get rid of. Thanks for your understanding and brutal honesty.

When this announcement was first made, editing mailboxes and/or aliases was disabled. Now we finally decided on the final dates... Those will be:

Monday 24th July of 2023: Mailbox management, SOGo interface, SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 logins will not be permitted. Accounts will still be available for specific message recovery (by contacting staff) up until 01/07/2023.
Tuesday 1st August of 2023: All accounts created by signed.host members will be permanently deleted. No data can be recovered from this day forward and no exceptions will be made apart from staff.

Collective action

By August 1st 2023, all user-created mailboxes will be deleted. If you host any important accounts, contact the staff team and they will help you transfer your accounts to G-mail or similar services.

In case you have done something important with them and require them to work, you can contact the staff team and explain your situation. We will be happy to help you in any way.

Creating new mailboxes will be disallowed, effective immidately.

Why?

Mail hosting costs. And with minimal profits from the service as a whole, it was found that it was not at all worth it since nobody used it as well. We're saddened to take such a decision, however we think that it's for the best...

How will this help?

The whole mail solution was extremely bandwidth-costy and needed a ton of maintenance as well. Instead of spending time perfecting a feature nobody actually uses, it's better both for you, the users, and us, staff, to focus on the primary features that made you all come here: the uploading and bio pages.

Thanks for your understanding.
