I use Gmail, MSN, Hotmail, & Yahoo. I have about 16 email accounts (personal, work, forums, & spam), but 13 of them I access through Outlook. It's like a quick 2 minute hassle to check all of them. The other 3 accounts I'm forced to sign in on occasion.

Damn you Yahoo!! ( >o<)/

Gmail, the only way to go for free. The storage is HUGE! The spam filter is awesome as well. You can check it at work with either web browser or email program. Just like Micky D's..."I'm lovin' it"

^ Yeah, but then you lose the email address when you get rid of Earthlink & you have to go through the hassle of contacting everyone or certain people to change your address & stuff in their address books & most people are too lazy to change them & then you lose contact with them. (@_@ )

That's why I never use the provided email services with internet providers. I lost my sbcglobal.net account & learned the hard way. ('o' )!! Hahaha! But yeah! Gmail is the way to go. You'll NEVER lose the account & you can access it with Outlook! Not only that, there's almost 3 gigabytes of storage in there!! Yup. I have about 100 invites for Gmail so if anyone wants one, just post your email address on here.

someone (at) somedomain (dot) com

^ You might want to do it like this to avoid spam. I can send as many as anyone needs. Like one for forums, one for spam, one for work, one to use your name professionally on a resume, etc. ( ^_^)/

Send a message via AIM to Tomas
I have a gmail e-mail account, eight Earthlink e-mail accounts, a few other odd e-mail accounts from sites I'm associated with, a nearly unlimited number of e-mail accounts associated with my personal domain, and the two important ones from Outblaze (mail.com).

The Outblaze accounts are 'forwarding' accounts so that no matter how many times I change ISPs or other e-mail accounts, they stay exactly the same so that the world still has the same e-mail address to send to - all I do is change where the forwarding account is forwarding to. My two Outblaze accounts have given me the same e-mail addresses since May 1998.

I don't worry about changing ISPs or any other e-mail addresses - those things that are important not to interrupt are simply given one of my Outblaze addresses.

(As an aside, my personal domain is the direct descendent of the one I first established in 1984. In those days, the "domain" was simply the computer's network name - in my case, "tijil." A decade later when the "World Wide Web" first came into being, domain names took on a whole different importance. Over the years my personal "domain" changed from being registgered as "tijil" and running on my own server on the internet to being registered as "tijil.org" and my letting others worry about keeping the servers happy. Still, I essentially have the same e-mail address I first got over 20 years ago. Now if I only still had the one I first got at Bell Labs in June 1982, I'd be even happier.)

I guess I'm the lone one here using myway.com, but hell I'm none too bright anyway and it seems to do the job for me. I'm lucky if I can remember how to start this darn machine up when I want to use it HaHaHa
Between work and home I've got more passwords to remember than I want to I wish I hadn't killed off all those brain cells when I was younger -- Doohh

Send a message via Yahoo to Big_Kokujin
G G G G G Geeeeeemail, yahoo...outlook, Lotus Notes( i hate)


Gmail, man i love that...maily how it groubs "Conversations" together...So instead of having 30 emails with the same subject, i have one conversation. Even when you send something to numerous people, it still comes back in the same conversation when you get emailed back...the only negative is there aren't any folders

You can even hover over a name, not address, of someone who was sent the same email you got and it tells you the email address
