You know your FAS account has been deactivated when ...

... The hourly flow of redirected spam ceases flowing to your Yahoo inbox!

Seriously, I won't be missing Harvard's FAS email system, or, for that matter, Harvard's computer services for students. The spam, the 1990s-style UIs, the constant prompts to log back in to the Harvard PIN server, the weird password policies ... this was the reality of using Harvard's student-oriented computing systems.

I have better hopes for Post.Harvard, the alumni website. So far, no spam, I appear to remain logged on even after several weeks of inactivity, and I see they just updated the interface.
