Which Web-based e-mail?
Hi All
My current e-mail supplier is shutting down their service so I'm looking for an alternative. Can anyone suggest a good one?
I'm sadly moving away from a 11 character e-mail address that was perfect.
Suggestions appreciated.
TC

Why not register your own domain name and have the ability to create your own email address.
I use a www.doteasy.com who have provide low cost domain registration and a free webhostng package without advert banners. Whilst you may not be
interested in the web hosting aspect it also allows you upto 10 email addresses on your domain name and free use of DotEasy's webmail
service.
for eg. you could register the domain www.timc.net and then create an email account for "tim@timc.net" and another for
"mrstimc@timc.net" and so on.
It's incredibly simple to use and DotEasy support always responds quickly. Total cost is ~£20 per year to maintain the domain name and the
peace of mind that no one can change your email address.
Let me know if you want any help getting it set up.

Hotmail has always been good enough for me but I don’t think its possible to have just your name these days, everyone seems to have random numbers in
the address now!

Hotmail
and limit your mail to people in your contacts. I use fsmail for signing up to stuff and it gets more spam than Waitrose.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I Agree with the Google mail suggestions.
If you want your own domain I suggest Register1.net over 1and1 I have used both. 1and1 is a little easier but with register1 you get real support.
Send them a question on there message system and its answered almost immediately and knowledgeably. I even asked them a question at 3am on a Sunday
morning and they answered in 15 minutes.

Another vote for gmail. It is the only address I have that does not get spammed stupid. I am slowly migrating all my personal stuff onto it. I also
have trouble sending mails when on the move a lot are rejected because they cannot link ISP to domain name in mail, this is also no problem with
gmail.
