Tried to log into my account at MyWay and found out two things:
1) My account may be closed; I lost over 500 emails. (I hadn't accessed it in a few months; this may be my own fault.)
2) MyWay will shut down their email service in October. That bugs me because it was a nice, relatively ad-free web mail system, similar to what Excite has, but with fewer ads. (Excite, MyWay, and I believe Ask.com are owned by the same people.)
Checked back today and found out iWon's email service is closing too. I haven't heard if Excite's closing their email service. (MyWay, iWon, Excite U.S. and Ask.com are owned by the smae people.)

So the end is near, and they face the final curtain?

Re: MyWay email service closing
Already have a Yahoo account, but they've become slow; that's why I started using MyWay.
Also have a Gmail account, which I use regularly, and an Excite account, which I've never used.
More concerned about the emails I lost (again, my fault) and it seems sad for a 17+ year old service to close.
This could reflect poorly on cloud based services; there's no guarantee the servers your renting will be on when you need them. That goes for game servers like GameSpy, web hosts like Geocities, or email services like MyWay. :/
