If you use Sprint PCS for inbound email, you’ve probably noticed very little traffic lately. That’s because Sprint decommissioned the PCS Mail service as of 12/31/08. You still have access to send outbound mail through their SMTP servers (which doesn’t make any sense to me), but cannot IMAP or POP the mail down to your email device from the sprintpcs.com domain. Mail sent after 12/31/08 has been bounced back to the sender.
If you send email, I would recommend taking a look at the count of the sprintpcs.com domain you have in your recipient lists and possibly suppressing sending to those addresses permanently. Also, when such terminations of service occur, it helps bolster the argument for having some sort of ECOA (email change of address) service to help email recipients be contacted again at their new domain by the same senders who sent them mail before. Of course, this assumes they still want to receive it. Hopefully users were warned beforehand. The official site takes the angle of assisting users with migrating their address books over – without a notification or this site, previous email account holders would really be up a proverbial creek.

amazing post about RIP: Sprint PCS Mail thanks for sharing!!
Well, anything that numbs your eyes has to have a load of bad ingredients in them. Just because these companies are trying to green up their image doesn't mean they are really moving forward. I think that the care of our babies has to be the first and foremost. Glad you shared this with so many.
