Comment from my suggestion on 2009-10-26

What I suggest is get an email address which is NOT tied to an ISP. I know with Gmail you can have outlook express or thunderbird as your reader, rather their proprietary web interface.

Right now I have a Gmail account and can access it from pretty much anywhere in the world. I don't have to worry if I move to across the country or across the world, (though I do remember an example of a friend studying abroad living in Dunedin, New Zealand who could only access New Zealand web sites, though that was back in 97 and probably not an issue now.) I can use it with pretty much any ISP, whereas if I moved to a place where I couldn't get Comcast, Charter, Verizon or even a dial-up ISP which didn't offer service is your area, you'd be SOL- can't use it anymore. This doesn't require you to own your own domain which can cost you money, it's free. I don't know what to do however, if you give up a free email service for some reason because you don't like it, in my case it has been because I've switched ISP's. Gmail works fine for me.

There is also ef.bigfoot.com which you can have forward your email to any email address. You can get a me@bigfoot.com address and tell it where you want the mail sent.

Though, I just wish I had known this earlier. I have two accounts with @charter.net email addresses and now I suppose I will HAVE to use a forwarding service to have them forwarded to my new address as I plan to replace them with Gmail addresses.

The best way is to go into your address book or old saved emails and send your new email address to all the contacts you want to keep. Then be thankful that the spammers that were sending spam to your old address can no longer fill up your inbox. You can go to the emailchange.com but that only works if your contact goes to that site looking for you. It doesn't hurt to put your old info there, but remember that the spammers will look for you there also. At least you do get an email asking your permission to give your email to the person/company that is requesting your new email address information. I have been through this a few times, and it is not as bad as it seems at first.

Domain ownership needs to renewed. This means you MUST remember to pay the fee. If you forget/ignore reminders, an energetic scoundrel can purchase ownership. Then, you gave to bargin with the "person" to regain what Was yours.

I couldn't log into my old account as it said I used the wrong e-mail address or password to many times. This happened the first time I tried and I suspect someone was trying to guess my password. Anyways, I got a new e-mail and want the original one back as it has all my contacts on it. I want the original one back with a new password. Can I do this??? thanks, Martie

Not that I'm aware of, no. I would leave the account active with an auto-reply if at all possible for a few months, and then turn it off.

We've switched isp's at our office today and are paying to maintain my boss's old email account until we wean people off of it. We are planning to send a blanket email to his address book of the change in address. Is there some technology we can utilize to notify people continuing to use the old address (because they are not in my boss's addressbook or because they haven't updated their addressbook) of the new one? I hope this qualifies as being on-topic. Thanks!!

You purchase domains from any of a number of different registrars. I recommend SimpleURL.com, and others have great success with GoDaddy.com. There are (many) others.
