What happened to Wanadoo and its email platform?

You probably don't remember the old Wanadoo platform, but at the time it was one of the pages that provided a diversification of services in the 90s. This domain belonging to France Telecom, a French company that included among its resources internet and mobile phone packages belonging to different brands. For Wanadoo this meant offering packages of internet for fixed devices.

Wanadoo is not only remembered as a multi-service page, but it also allows the function of giving its users the possibility of obtaining their own email.

France Telecom and its move to Orange, CA

To fully understand why Wanadoo no longer belongs to France Telecom, and why you can no longer access your account from the Wanadoo domain, we have to establish the following: In 2005, France Telecom carried out an acquisition process of the company Orange, which at the time belonged to the Vodafone group, being a Spanish telecommunications company that currently connects more than 650 million consumers and organizations, with its social purpose. and commercial internet services.

Now, returning to the initial question, when they manage to acquire the Orange company within their ranks, all the telephone services offered by Telecom become marketed under a new domain, Orange. CA and Telecom becomes a cooperative identity reservation. This process not only occurred with this company, but also with the Amena company, and when Telecom enters Spanish territory, the Amena organization tries to compete with it in the telephone sector, until in the same year (2005) the function of These companies. As a result, Amena and Wanadoo were part of the Orange brand team.

It is worth noting that this not only happened with Amena, but also with other platforms such as Ya.com, Mixmail, among others.

Wanadoo Mail Services

Among the most notable services of this domain is the possibility of providing its users with an email associated with the line. allowing your consumers to enjoy free email.

If you are wondering if this email service still works, the answer is that it does, except that, as we had previously explained, Wanadoo now belongs to the Orange company, therefore, it no longer works as an autonomous platform but as a service. adsorbed to increase the capacity of the company's Orange mail function. In this way, if you were one of those who could enjoy Wanadoo email, it is possible that by entering Correo Orange you can continue benefiting from its services.

How can I delete my Wanadoo account if it belongs to Orange?

Several of Wanadoo's users have stopped using the email platform without carrying out the due process of deleting their respective account in order to end the free services provided by the former French company Telecom. One of the reasons is due to the possible misinformation of former users who were not aware of the change of the company's domain to Orange in addition to the change of Web platform or it is also due to the lack of interest in using this platform compared to others.

In this way, if you want to successfully delete your Wanadoo email account, we recommend that you contact Orange, because the company's representatives have the competence to take charge of your request, in order to be able to give delete your old Wanadoo account permanently.

Likewise, another way for your Wanadoo email to be deleted, you must present inactivity, which includes not sending or receiving information for 90 consecutive days.

Therefore, if any problem occurs, you will not be able to save the data you have in your account. This is why this service has already been identified as unsafe compared to other options available.  

How can I access my Wanadoo account from the Correo Orange platform?

You must keep in mind that your Wanadoo account was only absorbed by the Orange platform, that is, you still have the possibility of continuing to enjoy the services of your old account, but at a different web address.
