Does my bell mail inbox stay after leaving bell

When you leave Bell, your Bell Mail inbox will not automatically transfer to a new email provider or carrier. Here's what happens:

  1. Your Bell Mail account remains active: Your Bell Mail account will remain active for a period of time, usually 30 to 60 days, depending on the province and your account type. During this time, you can still access your emails, but you won't be able to send or receive new emails.
  2. Emails are archived: After the inactive period, your Bell Mail account will be archived, and your emails will be stored in a read-only format. You won't be able to access your emails or send/receive new emails.
  3. Emails are deleted: If you don't reactivate your Bell Mail account or transfer your emails to a new provider, your emails will be deleted after a certain period, usually 6-12 months.

To avoid losing your emails, you can take the following steps:

  1. Transfer your emails: Before leaving Bell, you can transfer your emails to a new email provider or carrier. This way, you can keep your emails and continue using them with your new provider.
  2. Export your emails: You can export your emails from Bell Mail to a file (e.g., PST or EML) and then import them into your new email provider.
  3. Set up email forwarding: You can set up email forwarding from your Bell Mail account to your new email address. This way, you'll receive a copy of all incoming emails in your new inbox.

To transfer or export your emails, you'll need to follow these steps:

Remember to act quickly, as the inactive period for your Bell Mail account may be shorter than you think.
