if i remember correctly if u dont login at least once every 2 weeks the account locks up like hushmail. the only way to reactivate it is to upgrade to a paying account. i believe it is separate from EF plat account.
i just visted the site. only premium account holders no longer have dormant accounte deactivation.
you keep your free ef email account it all stays the same. contact EF Frank for the best deal and I tell him I will match whatever free K he gives you.
