I'm in the process of switching to AT&T U-Verse. I was told by the AT&T rep that I could continue to use my Roadrunner email for 2 years even though I was dropping my internet service from the cable company and switching to AT&T. He said it was a new law. Is this correct?

Just and expression of thanks to you LEO.

I used the information here and now have my own domain overnight.Will now work towards independence of my email address.

Also for the guidance about SimpleURL. After checking a number of local (Australian) domain providers SimpleURL was certainly the better option . Establishing the domain name was as cheap but none had free email forwarding. You had to subscribe to a plan at additional cost to get this email support.
The only wrinkle now is the exchange rate. If our AUD keeps falling the cost in USD will rise.

I have my email through netidentity.com. They own my last name as a domain name and many many others. They sell you email accounts that are firstname@lastname.com which is really nice, unfortunately thier service rates about a 2 on a 1-10 scale in my book. Is there any way to free my name from them?

i`ve read the article..........does that apply to a secondary email account?

when i move i want to keep my email username, one would think that since it`s not a primary address i shouldn`t have any trouble.

A friend signed up with tesco.net on pay as you go and got an email address. Later they changed ISP to Pipex on broadband. Everything was fine including sending and receiving emails with the tesco email address through the Pipex connection. After approx 3-4 months they cannont now send, using the tesco email address but can recieve. to send they have to dial up the tesco ISP. Do you know how they can send using tesco email with Pipex connection?

Why is Gmail missing from the list of Webmail providers above? They have one of the largest storage capacity of any free webmail service and seem to have the best featured webmail as well (although Windows Live Mail and Yahoo Mail - both beta currently) are fast trying to catch up.

Not directly. You would have to go out and purchase/register the domain khatri.com, if it's available, and then use email forwarding to enable mails on that domain to go to your hotmail account, if that's what you want.

It depends on what you mean by subscribing to MSN.

@msn.com addresses are not free ... you must sign up with MSN and have them be your ISP.

You can use any email address to use MSN's Passport service for things like MSN Instant messenger and the like.

All the more reason to NEVER EVER use the email address from your ISP. I've been saying this for years. Don't offer them the power to extort you. Always use an email provider distinct from your ISP. For a few bucks a year ($35 including anon domain registration and linux web hosting) you can setup your own vanity email service. You get these fun additional advantages:

- As many email aliases and POP/IMAP accounts as you please
- Easily add more mail storage
- Finer grain control over antispam settings (SpamAssassin, DCC, Razor2 etc)

So you AND your family can have the email usernames of their choosing!

On making new MSN e-mail addresses....

I don't know about bookmarks, &c. -- though if they're set up in MSIE, they should be fine -- but you can just "Add a New User" through MSN Explorer. (I think there's a limit of 8 or 9.) I've done this just once, and I found it a bit of a pain, but it did work, and it made totally separate e-mail accounts. Just go into MSN Explorer and look for "Add New User" in the upper-right corner. (There may be some maneuvering involved if you have a version different from mine. MSN doesn't make *anything* easy!)

NB: Sometimes Outlook X gets confused and mixes up the accounts or doubles messages. It's stupid, but it doesn't happen all that often.

NB: This means adding a new account to your MSN e-mail, NOT adding a new user/logon to your Windows (XP). *That* is an umitigated and dangerous mess. Good luck!

Akua: it depends on your ISP. If it's comcast, you should check with them to see if they have a forwarding service.

Well, IE favorites are different from your email accounts. No reason to lose them. But as for your email name ... that all depends on yoru ISP, but most cannot, or will not, allow you to just change ... to them your email name IS your account, and thus a new email name is a new account. And with most major ISPs, all the good names are taken anyway :-).

The only way I know of with most is to open a new account with a new email address, and then close the old one. But most of the "really cool" names are already taken, which is why people add numbers to their names.

It looks like no one really cares about your site, you hardly get any comments or anything for anyone but yourself, it just looks like a one man band playing to nobody.

But i have to say your site is brilliant! full of news and information i am definitely coming back to read more articles later on!!
