So No more Hughes Email?

So Hughes email is a no go? Having got Gen 6 , closing my Gen 5 account, I tried to start a new email for my account, a no go. I looked at the community posts re: email problems and relate to the problems, is Hughes email gone? Thanks

    It’s probably been discontinued for new accounts. I imagine it will likely be discontinued for everyone sooner or later, as that’s the trend with ISPs.

      maratsade-  I remember your comment less than a year ago regarding this. My Thunderbird email client was performing better lately with Gen 5 now . I guess I'll just forget about a  Hughes email account. I have 3 others, so no big. Thanks for your reply.  I'm happy with Gen 6 speeds ; 12 + mps consistently 🙂 My account history shows I have been with Hughes since 2012, thru Gens 4, 5, now 6. With my location in a canyon, It is my best option in many criteria ;  price, quality of support, now speed with Gen 6. I do tell others, about Hughes. In my location, there are few options , compared to other sat isps, Hughes is #1 for the reasons above. The support from All in the Tech Forum is exceptional , Thanks 🙂

        Yoiu’re welcome! You had a different username then, right?  I do remember the canyon! It’s amazing you get anything at all.🤣

        If you’re happy with the speeds and the service, then saying bye bye to an email account is not so bad!
