Important information to make an email address. READ THIS FIRST

Authored by Gilbert

It is very important to read this before you set up a new email address account. ================================================================================ I believe that it is best to use a free web bassed free email address as your good email address. Do not use an email address that is connected with your internet service provider. If for any reason you change your internet service provider, you loose your email address and all your addresses. Your contacts loose your address also. I have seen this happen to many people , even after I had explained this to them. I guess they wanted to experience it for themselves. This is from people who told me they did not plan on changing internet service providers. 1. The free email providers can be accessed just like a web page , from any location and from any computer. It is much more difficult to get email from your internet service provider , when you are at other computers and locations. 2.Most free email providers have good viris scanning in place and keep it up to date. 3. many free email providers try to provide lots of handy accessories like mail catagorizing , and signature footers. A good email provider that I recommend is, http://mail.yahoo.com/ they presently provide 4 megs of data, and you need to log in at least once every three months. hotmail.com has become a crappy email provider, do NOT use it. they only provide 2 megs, and if you do not log in, within a 30 day stretch, you loose your email and addresses. I have warned several people about this, but alas they also did not heed my warning, and lost all. 1. when you are signing up for an address, DO NOT fill in any non required fields 2. DO NOT put in any interests , sports , or clubs . They will give you junk mail from the service provider. 3. Decline any updates , notices, or news events of any types. IF there is any important information that the email provider neads to get to you , They will have no problem getting it to you. ------------------------------------------
