Email Discontinuation | Ritter Communications

Effective Monday, February 17, 2020 all email accounts provided by Ritter Communications will be discontinued. Your email service will be affected by this change if it ends in any of the following:

@rittermail.com
@ritternet.com
@eritter.net

We encourage you to set up a new email address with one of the many providers that offer free email services such as Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo. These are available at no cost and offer better tools and functionality than the current Ritter Communications email system.

ACTION REQUIRED:

If your Ritter email is your contact email for our services, please contact us at 888.336.4466 to update your Ritter account with your new email address.
If you’re using this email address as a username for any of your online accounts or social media, we suggest you update those accounts to your new email address as well.

After setting up your new email address, if you need help forwarding your email or exporting your contacts and emails, please see below for detailed step-by-step instructions.
