Hi
I have a optus home broadband services before and cancelled a month ago due to relocation, I was told my email account is available for 90 days so I can export all emails if need. However, I find out later I cant login the account and so a week ago, your colleagus help me to reactivate my email address. However, all my old emails gone, I need the old emails back, can you let me know what I can do
Hi mabel99,
I'm afraid you will need to contact Optus again to see if this is possible.

Hi Ray YC
Thanks for reply.
Yes I have My Optus App, but since there is no current service attached, I cannot message from there at all.
I did read some past post and apparently they complain to TIO, and then finally optus fixed the issue.
It is no good if your team advise we have 90 days active email account to sort out our historic emails, but in fact you shut it down soon after cancellation.
I assume I need to call again, if I can get answer by your busy support line. I will try
Thanks
I cannot access any emails for over one month now. I've tried changing password. No success.
My account starts with hidden - and I read I therefore have to contact Optus. How do I now do this?
Please sort this out, as I am missing important emails.
Have you tried logging into your Optusnet via Webmail?
Hi, I had the same problem for the first time about a month ago. It seems that we now have to log into "Webmail" and empty folders manually (even the inbox) With spam & deleted folders, click on the cog wheel and follow options (2 I think) there you will be able to manage spam & deleted where you can click on the "empty" button. With the inbox you will have to do that from the Inbox view and do it manually/ Click manage folders at the top bar then select all and then hit the trash can button. You have to do this manually ( a total pain in the "A") but it is the only way I have found to do it. I think that Optus may have reduced the capacity of our webmail as I have never had to do this before. Hope this helps!!!!!
Go to your SPAM and Trash folders separately. In the menu at the top, you will see a circle with a slash through it. Use that to empty the folders.
