[Systems] not getting mail at sdaly at sugarlabs.org since today :-(

[Sean DALY]

Bernie - I understand the rationale, but unless I'm mistaken the last
mail I had from you said webmail would stay up after all. All I'm
saying is, consider sending a mail before cutting off service.

there were no bounces, my mails went into a black hole which has me
worried, and that is happening with pr at sugarlabs.org too

I have set up yet another webmail OK, but still no idea how to migrate
350+ Mb of sent/received mail, which if I lose will really be
catastrophic

help please!

Sean
