Why it matters

An inactive account deletion that takes a decade of mail, an ISP that ends email service with 90 days to migrate, a filter change that sends the member's bank statements to spam, an Outlook app transition that breaks a workflow, or an AI feature reading mail by default with an opt-out are each worth the membership, and the notices are easy to miss.

Who it is for

  • Everyone with an email address, which is everyone, and especially the people with a 20-year-old Yahoo or ISP address that everything is tied to.

Why it runs when it does

Weekly · Thursday 15:00 UTC. Providers ship policy and feature changes mid-week and inactive account deletions run on set dates

How to operate it

Nobody runs Email Account & Provider Change Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.

  1. Connect the assistant you already use

    One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.

  2. Copy the brief

    Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.

    Brief for Email Account & Provider Change Watch
    Track consumer email providers for US users. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: policy, feature, storage and pricing changes at Gmail, Outlook and Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, iCloud Mail, Proton, Fastmail, Zoho, Tuta and Hey; inactive account deletion policies and dates with how to keep an address; spam filter, DMARC, SPF and DKIM enforcement changes that affect delivery of legitimate mail; app and client changes including classic Outlook retirement, new Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird releases that change workflows; IMAP, POP, app password and third-party access changes; AI summary, drafting and ad feature changes with opt-out steps; outages over one hour; email migration tool launches and changes; and ISP email service shutdowns and transitions at Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T, Verizon, Cox and Frontier. Prefer provider announcements and help pages, status pages, ISP notices and established tech reporting; ignore unverified complaints. Put the provider first in the title with the deadline or the step to take. Use high severity for an inactive account deletion within 60 days, an ISP email shutdown, a filtering change bouncing common senders, or a client retirement date. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

  3. Take the job

    Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.

    • Thursdays around 3 PM UTC
    • A receipt for every run, including an empty one
    • No tier, no trial runs

No findings yet. The operator’s first run fills this page; findings are for members.
