Veterans Email Program

Reactivate Your Account

We sent notices in September and October 2026 that the Veteran Email Accounts were all going to a paid $12/yr starting on November 1, 2026. The notices to you may have gone to your spam or in some cases you no longer have access to your recovery email address. All of your account data is still in storage and will be through January 1, 2027. Reinstating your account is as easy as paying through the payment link at the bottom of the login page. I apologize for any inconvenience.

The notices we sent

Email #1September 2026

Hello,

What started several years ago as a personal project to provide a cool benefit to veterans has become too expensive to run on my own budget. Many of you know that I had to upgrade my hosting and storage accounts over a year ago. The Veteran Email Program is converting all accounts to paid accounts at $1/mo. paid annually by November 1, 2026. I apologize for the change and thank you for understanding.

If you wish to maintain your account, please go to this link to pay: Payment Form. Make sure to use your current recovery email address as the address on file for your payment, that way I can easily reconcile the accounts.

Notes:

  • If you want to verify this is a valid request, you can copy and paste this link https://vmail.vet/confirmed-account-update-request/ in your browser window. It is a hidden page on the vmail.vet website. You’ll have your answer.
  • The Payment Link is ONLY for updating your account, it is not for new account set up. For new accounts you’ll have to go through the https://vmail.vet/login form and upload a veteran confirmation document.
  • So. If you are inclined to share the Veteran Email Program with others, please just send them to the home page, https://vmail.vet.
  • Finally, I’ll remind you that I never share or sell any of your information. Period. And I never will. All of your documents were deleted at or shortly after your application.

Thank you for your service,

Brace

Hi there,

This is a friendly reminder that the deadline to keep your Veteran Email account is November 1, 2026. As mentioned in my previous message, the Veteran Email Program is moving to paid accounts at $1 per month, paid annually ($12 per year). You may have emails or other information in your account that you don’t want to lose—and I don’t want you to lose it either. If you do not intend to keep your address, please back up anything you want to save before November 1. If you have already paid and have received this note, please let me know. I need to change your status.

Keeping your address

To keep your account, please complete the Payment Form by November 1, 2026. Please use your current recovery email address as the email address for your payment so I can match it to your account.

I will send one more notification after this reminder. After the November 1 deadline, anyone without a paid account will be removed from the database and will not be contacted again.

I’m not maintaining a marketing email list, so please bear with me if you’ve asked to be removed and it hasn’t happened yet. These notices are simply intended to give you time to keep your address or save your information. It’s almost over, and I appreciate your patience.

Improvements to the program

That said, we’ve been working hard to improve the program, including:

  • One-button setup for iPhones.
  • Super-easy setup for apps like Outlook, Gmail, and Thunderbird. Visit our Setup Instructions to get started.
  • A new, attractive signature block creator to help personalize your emails. You can find it on our Addons page.

A few reminders

  • To verify that this is a legitimate request, visit the Account Update Confirmation page on our website.
  • The payment link is only for keeping an existing account. New applicants must use the new-account application form and upload a veteran confirmation document.
  • If you’d like to share the program with another veteran, please direct them to the Veteran Email Program home page.
  • I never share or sell your information, and I never will. Verification documents were deleted at or shortly after your application.

Thank you again for your service,

Brace

Hi there,

This is the last (I promise) reminder that the deadline to keep your Veteran Email account is November 1, 2026. If you have already paid, don’t worry, I’ve updated your account.

As mentioned in my previous messages, the Veteran Email Program is moving to paid accounts at $1 per month, paid annually ($12 per year). You may have emails or other information in your account that you don’t want to lose—and I don’t want you to lose it either. If you do not intend to keep your address, please back up anything you want to save before November 1. IMPORTANT NOTE: Unpaid accounts will be restricted and archived for at least 30 days, until December 1, 2026, after which all of the data will be deleted. You can recover your account by paying prior to December 1, 2026, but you will not have access to them in the meantime.

Keeping your address

To keep your account, please complete the Payment Form by November 1, 2026. Please use your current recovery email address (not your .vet account) as the email address for your payment so I can match it to your account.

I’m NOT maintaining a marketing email list, so please bear with me if you’ve asked to be removed and it hasn’t happened yet. These notices are simply intended to give you time to keep your address or save your information. It’s now over, and I appreciate your patience.
