I was going to migrate but they seem to have stabilised, stayed as I am looking for jobs, and have used mweb for most of my working career as my main email.

MWEB Email Migration – Critical Issues!
- Thread starter VIP007
- Start date
I have found that whatever you do, do NOT use their AntispamCloud webpage of Mweb. I also received those Google spam emails as well as many others. I kept blocking them on that one Dashboard page, just to receive 5 more the next day. Then I stopped marking them as Spam on that Antispam Cloud and only blocked and marked them as spam when they landed in my Inbox or Junk Folder. Within 2 days my Spam emails came down from 8 a day to max of 2. And the reason...when you log into a Spam Quarantine portal to mark something as Spam the system has to "touch" the email to move it. Those emails normally contains a tiny invisible image called a Web Beacon and the moment it is moved by the server it sends a signal back to the spammer telling him that this address is active and a real human is looking at it! To the spammer that makes your email address Gold...so every time you move it to Spam on the Mweb Antispam Cloud the spammer knows you got it and he sends again...and again... Since Friday up to today...Wednesday...I have only received 2 spam emails...and I dont touch that Antispam Cloud page. And Mweb should know this is happening. And yes...I am 75 and I am not keen on moving to another supplier.
