The Facebook email mess continues.
The Great Facebook E-Mail Mess of 2012 continues with some users apparently reporting missing emails and altered address books. Reports Violet Blue at CNET:
An alarming number of people are reporting that the new e-mail address Facebook forced on users this week is changing their address books while intercepting and losing unknown amounts of e-mail.
Facebook users say contacts’ e-mail addresses on phones and personal devices have been altered without their consent — and their e-mail communication is being redirected elsewhere, and lost.
Blue quotes sources from around the web who have had issues, which appears to be related to syncing one’s Facebook contacts with an outside address book.
How will Facebook save face on this one? Stay tuned…
