I use MEW too but I did not receive any such email. All in all, it doesn't sound like a true email. I think it is a phishing email more than anything else. If u truly.understand block chain, u will know that MEW is not an exchange and they do not hold your private keys. There is no way that they will do that

What email?? MEW sent email to all their users? I think it's not MEW. In the registration of wallet they not ask us to fill our email. They only ask us to fill a password. It's strange if MEW can sent email to us if they don't know our email. And also it said to fill form with your own data. Dude it's surely a phising. Don't touch it dude, be aware

How did you get an email from MEW? I don't recall providing an email address when I registered. Unless it is something new they are requesting now a days I would say that is a phishing attempt. EDIT: I just saw the message were you mention the email came from " myetherwallet@zoho.eu" . Definitely a scam then. Always check the sender before doing anything. Too many people trying to scam crypto users now a days.

Its a phising, MEW does not email their members or users and They dont hold any of our email addresses.
Its a pure scam. stay away from it. There was no MEW Theft or Hack happened.

I think this grammar is wrong: "Unfortunately, the new computer code for generating private keys is already ready and we will implement it this fall." And using a service mail like Zoho mail is already a red flag right there. Report it as a phishing scam mail.

It sounds very much like a phishing attempt. What address/domain was the email sent from? No doubt the form you need to fill in will ask you for your private keys, at which point they will clean out your wallet.
this email come from : MyEtherWallet < myetherwallet@zoho.eu> Ok, more discussion we don't need. The e-mail adress Show it, it's a fake / phishing e-mail.

How come that MEW knows your email address? I don't think I indicated it anywhere on MEW website. So, it is likely to be a scam.

Any mails regarding MEW are SCAM. If you see any links to myetherwallet in your mail then it's definitely a phishing link. The only resource you can trust is MEW official twitter. So if you hesitate whether MEW is compromised or not, just visit their twitter page and read the last tweets. And always use Metamask to unlock your wallet.

This is just web phishing deliberately created to include our PV on the web, be careful if you find such things because they will take all the assets you have if you give your PV to the web, because this if MEW saves their updates do not will never email us specifically.

I've got this e-mail too, im sure this is the phishing. Firstly , look at the e-mail sender, looks like really scam. And i don't believe that ethereum developers could make e-mail newsletter, i think they would make official announce on MEW website. How did they get our e-mails? we didn't put them by creating a wallet.
