Big slow job. Took me several months gradually Robin.

The process will be slow though as of the 705 entries, for various web sites/organisations etc, in my password manager almost all of them have an email address for the username and they do not have a separate field in the account profile for a separate contact email address. Thus it is problematic if an old username/email address is abandoned then the password recovery or even continued usage of that account could become very difficult. ymmv cheers, Robin On 9 Nov 2023, at 10:31 am, Stephen Chape via WAMUG <wa...@lists.wamug.org.au> wrote: Good idea Rod.

I have opted in to The Messaging Company (I think following Daniel K’s instructions). I have changed my “send new mail address" in Apple Mail to [1]bli...@mac.com I will also keep my iinet address and review this when TMC decide to start charging. I guess I have a year to change email address for various accounts/logins from my iinet one to my mac.com one.

Westnet advised me a couple of months back too they are outsourcing the email management. This was received with big groans. However, Westnet (and iinet) are outsourcing the email management to The Messaging Company. You have the choice to Opt In to their plan, in which case they will manage the full migration of your Westnet (or iinet) Mail accounts to The Messaging Company, but importantly you will keep exactly the same email address afterwards. I have opted in as making a change to a different email address would be a huge undertaking with all the tangles with multiple other subscriptions, providers etc my email address is associated with. Same to for the 4 other family members in my family. I dug further into this - the first year of email management is free with The Messaging Company and then from year 2, they will charge a fee for the email management. If I look at my Westnet plan, the current email management fee will disappear form day 1 after migration and thereafter. I don't know yet how much The Messaging Company will charge from year 2. You can ring the helpline for further details if other questions or there is an FAQ page for the commonly asked questions.
