ContactClean is pleased to recommend Memotoo for address-book synchronisation and other synchronisation tasks.

Soon we will release a full integration that will keep your synchronised address-book up to date with any changes your friends and contacts make to their own preferred email address.

Internet service provider Breathe Networks Ltd (BNL) has applied to be struck off the UK Register of Companies. On Monday July 21st the firm moved its 25,000 customers to another email provider without asking them first. As a result, it’s understood that around half of BNL customers lost their address books, archived mail and folders.

Spider Networks Ltd, which provided email services to BNL, wrote to thousands of customers offering them a way to get their information back – but possibly at the cost of changing their email address.

This can be a real pain! You can tell all your friends in your addressbook, but what about the Bank, your Mobile Phone company, Amazon etc.?

ContactClean can help you sort all this out. If you register we can help notify businesses and contacts of your new address – but only with your consent, we always let you know who’s looking for you before we contact them.

EDITOR NOTES:

ContactClean is an Email Change of Address (ECOA) service to help people keep in touch. We provide services to enable address books and contact lists to be kept up to date. This is achieved through partnerships with Internet and Email Services Providers and free services to individuals. (ContactClean homepage)

If you use GMail then use ContactClean to keep your address book up to date when a contact changes their email address.

This is particularly useful if you’re interested in using Google’s new switch to GMail capability.

You can also use it to keep your Thunderbird address book up to date

The Lycos.co.uk email service will terminate on 15th February 2009. Their newsletter states that all email, settings and files will be deleted after that date and advises users to find a new email provider.

It’s not clear if Lycos.com will be doing the same.

If this effects you, and you change your email address, register on the ContactClean Lycos quick registration and email search page to help keep all your friends and contacts up to date.

ContactClean have released a utility script for Firefox Greasmonkey. The script creates an autocompleter on any web-page forms that contain email input boxes taken from your history of email addresses.

This is useful for helping to remember which email address you used on old sites.
