your best bet is to buy your own domain, it can cost as little as 9$ a year and adding one e-mail add. costs anothr 3 or 4…

i have a yahoo, hotmail, gmail, univeristy and my own domain email addresses… i use the first two for signing up to rubbish, each one has its different rubbish use, (i started with a yahoo account when pop was free), gmail as an ‘important’ one for signups and registrations that i like to check regularly thourgh my e-mail client and my domain for my friends and family.

its good to have an e-mail address which you can have for life, that way its urs and you wont risk losing pop privilages.

[quote author=“Mighty Matt”]I just got an email from microsoft:

Dear MSN Member,

Recently, Hotmail® announced that in order to improve customer experience and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSN® services, Hotmail will no longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via Microsoft® Office Outlook® and Outlook Express.

We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook Express.

Because you actively use Outlook or Outlook Express to access one or more of your MSN Hotmail or MSN e-mail accounts, this could be the ideal time to consider subscribing to our powerful new
e-mail service - Microsoft Office Outlook Live.

Anyone else had this?
