The recent question about changing ISP from Plusnet to Sky started me wondering about what ISPs do with hosted email account content when the ISP service is cancelled. The prevalence and insistence on email access via IMAP means the email content is only accessible via that connection. Does anyone know what the typical procedure is by ISPs in regards to access to that email data when the ISP service is cancelled?
