Use your own client and BACK UP old wallets, even if you don't think you'll be getting anything at it. You may open it in a few months to find you're a millionaire. Or maybe just that you have a few mBTC in it

No it is not. Several months ago he accidently send some coins to his old mybitcoin address. It is a perfectly valid address. The coins are gone. Mybitcoin has them now. What I do not understand is why, after several months, he is bringing it up now. It was months ago. The coins are gone. Nothing more to say.
It's so strange that it let you sent it.
I sent the mail next day
Still, it doesn't matter much. Bitcoin transaction mimic tangible transactions. So they are as reversible as cash or gold, the pool can't reverse the transaction and correct the address, the coins were already gone the moment they sent them.
Also, as with the delivery analogy, it's impossible for you to prove that address isn't yours. You can prove it is yours, but not the other way round.
If MyBitcoin weren't a scam, maybe you would be able to retrieve them by asking the service provider, alas he's long gone with your money... I also have accidentally sent to my old mybitcoin address.
Please to cancel the transfer and return to me my coins.i have 2 accounts on mining.cz
When did this happen? It seems at least on or before September 2011.
Think of it this way... You order something online and give them the wrong address. They send it right away. 7 months later you call them and tell them your mistake and want them to send it again. (The permanent loss of the item aside, how do you prove that you don't have access to the mailbox of that address?)
One difference is, we can see what the receiver on the wrong address did with your coins, and that they actually sent them to somewhere else. So your only option is find the owner of that address and ask for your coins. While at it, ask for my coins as well.

Hello,
transactions sent thru Bitcoin network cannot be reversed, so if pool sent payout to non-existing address, those coins are definitely lost.
Please change your wallet ASAP to prevent future loses...

All the best mate. Hope you get it back. Still researching bitcoin atm.
I sent to the address of mubitcoin.org, because I had an account there. I did not know that it is blocked
Then the private key *does* exist.
You need to get it from the service owner though.What is mubitcoin.org? The domain doesn't resolve... Or did he meant mybitcoin.com ? If so, good luck recovering them.

What was the address? How did you manage to accidently produce an address with a valid check sum that "does not exist" without doing it on purpose?
For fun I have produced such addresses and sent BTC to them so they are forever written in the block chain, for example:
But notice that the last few characters of each address encode the check sum and it must be correct in order for the address to be accepted.
