You will have to be able to log in to your FeedBurner account, however, to download your subscribers. Put another way, downloading your email subscribers is basically your LAST step, not your first. You need a place, an email service (known as an email service provider, or ESP) to put them, so you can still get your word out to them after FeedBurner email is finally shut down forever. It also means that FeedBurner email going away is a whole lot more than downloading your email subscribers. In other words, any download you make now will be out of date pretty quickly. Your future FeedBurner mailings may still cause unsubscribes and bounces.Your FeedBurner subscription forms are still collecting email addresses.Or at least, you can, as a backup, but there’s more work to do than just that download. Step Two: Don’t download your emails just yet. We think it’s safest to plan that no emails will be sent by FeedBurner from July 1st onwards. Google also says that FeedBurner emails will stop “starting in July.” (now, maybe “mid August”) That might end up being later than July 1st, but that isn’t very precise either. This gives you time to plan a transition – and the larger your mailing list, the more important planning your migration will be. So at the time of writing ( April 14th July 22), that’s 75 22 days away. It’s unclear whether mailings have actually stopped. Update, July 22: Google has announced today that they moved the date to “mid-August” – giving everyone 26 days who hasn’t got around to it. Step One: Recognize you have until July 1st August 15 (at least) to figure it all out.

Here are seven steps to help you work it all out – with minimal disruption and without forcing your subscribers to sign up again. What do you do now? By when? How? And what will it cost? Here’s the end of FeedBurner’s email services announcement on a Google Developers blog.
