Accessing email from an expired domain name

How to do this

I have (had?) an internet email account that I use at www.oceanfree.net. They were an Irish provider and I used them because I liked the name and the account didn't get spammed, but today when I tried to log on I get an error message saying "This domain name expired on 05/02/2006 and is pending renewal or deletion."
There are some important emails and addresses in that account and I was wondering is there someway I can contact the providers or find out if I can access my mail account to save the mail elsewhere?

Try using the IP address instead of the Domain name... 194.145.128.82

The Direct link to access your mail is - http://mail.oceanfree.net

Just tried it and it works.. Might want to kick off an email to the maintainers of the site. Perhaps they just forgot to renew the domain.

I tried the direct link to the mail already but I get the same web page with the error... huh.gif Can you really get to the mail login page?

I can't call the number give either as its one of those support numbers that I think you can only access in Ireland.
I'll try that email address there though.

If I use the IP address I can get to the main page but I can't get the email login page. sad.gif

Still works for me...

Try accessing the site via IP first, then goto webmail..
If it still doesn't work, and you don't want to call them, then send them an Email... Address included above..

That's weird huh.gif i've tried that. I accessed the main page with the IP address and then tried the email link but I go to the error page each time. I even cleared out the cache and cookies beforehand and tried in on another browser.
I just don't seem to be able to access the login page.

I can get to the page DK linked to if I use the pulldown site-map menu on the left-hand side, not the link button at the top of the page.

Updated The Direct Link - Try This one

Webmail Server via IP Address if it doesn't work with .36 try the backup server on .37
the trick is to replace "mail.oceanfree.net" with "212.2.162.36".. just look at the URL in your browser
and change it manualy if you need to..

I tried that pull down menu as well but it doesn't work for me. sad.gif I also tried typing webmail/mail/email into the box in the top left corner and pressing go but I just get the same error web page. sad.gif
