Problem with ISP addys is that you end up a bit tied to the ISP or everyone you know losses track when you move ....... unless you buy your own domain name and forward the mail to whichever ISP you happen to be using.Willopotomas wrote:Does your ISP not give you an e-mail account? Or are you specifically after an on-line based service?
That's my strategy.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

ISPs also typically don't let you send an email via SMTP etc unless you're connected to their system (although you can using webmail) - I've got TalkTalk, and an Orange phone, can't send from my TalkTalk account over the Orange 3G. So I've got a Yahoo and an iCloud account on my phone, which works over any connection.D-Rider wrote:Problem with ISP addys is that you end up a bit tied to the ISP or everyone you know losses track when you move ....... unless you buy your own domain name and forward the mail to whichever ISP you happen to be using.Willopotomas wrote:Does your ISP not give you an e-mail account?

I've got 4 Yahoo accounts - 3 are fine, one gets spammed to death (but I use that for newsletters, so the spam just comes along with it)

I have about 7 seven email addresses.
I tend to keep most going to my gmail account as it is all centralised and i will never change that account.
One at work is for work.
I also have @dalemckeown.co.uk addresses, but with no *decent* web interface I tend not to use it so much.
Then there is old msn/hotmail accounts, ISP email accounts, etc.
But most of the time i use my gmail. Their spam and unsubscribe filters are great.
