    I am switching from eircom to UPC - anything I need to look out for?

    We moved from Eircom to Sky broadband and Talk last month. We can still receive our Eircom webmail, but what Gipimann says makes sense because we cannot send mail (using Outlook). Must get that setting from Sky, thanks Gipimann. Our activation date with Sky was about 2 weeks into our Eircom...

    Do you lose your eircom email if you change to Sky broadband?

    And if you access your email via webmail ([broken link removed]) then you dont have to make any changes at all - it just works regardless of where you are logging in from or what provider you use. That's what we were hoping to do. Haven't changed over yet, but was hoping to organise it this...

    Do you lose your eircom email if you change to Sky broadband?

    Thanks guys, we were hoping to still be able to access the emails through the eircom website, and logging into the webmail there. I guess they will block us if we change.
