Facebook Ended Automatic Email Fowarding?

6 replies
Hey guys.

On April 27th I got an email from Facebook that says they are ending Automatic Email Forwarding starting May 1st.

In other words..No one can use your facebook email address to send email to your real email address.

For those who did not know...Everyone who signed up on facebook had a facebook email address.

It looked like this...

yourfacebookusername@facebook.com

If someone emailed your facebook email address it would be automatically forwarded to the email address you use to sign up for facebook.

Did anyone else get an email like I did and do you know why they Ended Automatic Email Fowarding?

    Should this not go in the social media sub forum ?

    Yes, i got this email too and it is for real. I guess they could not handle the email department and that is why it must have been closed. But this is actually a good idea, that you let your users automatically get an email address and then use it as a data from your site or server and then forward mails to their signed up email.

    When Mark first started Facebook, he must have thought of some concept to use this facility and later on when FB came up to be a BOOM, then he must have dropped this idea. Since there is already so many things on FB which are to be handled..
