Dormant accounts
Graduating and moving on? Check out our handy dormant account option for Netinfo and Interchange users.
If you won't be able to access your account for a while, you can save money by purchasing the dormant account option. This option allows your account to continue receiving email; however, you can't log in and read your mail until you reactivate your account. The dormant account option costs only $3.00 per 30-day period; all other account fees are waived during this period.
The dormant account option can be combined with email forwarding, which is a handy feature if you'll have access to another email address while you're out of town, or if you're moving to a new Internet Service Provider and want time to notify friends and mailing lists of your change in e-mail address. (Note: You must set up email forwarding yourself via the Manage your Account
section of the Interchange website.)
The dormant account option is also sold to Netinfo users who are graduating this year. Use it in combination with email forwarding to make sure that none of your email gets lost when your free Netinfo account expires (in mid-November of the year you graduate).
