Just a heads up . . . . BT are disconnecting me today - so I loose my email addresses . . . .

As yet, being a n00b, I don't have anything else set up until Ian can kindly come over and finishing hooking me up with my Sky Router thingy.

(nudge nudge)

This obviously applies to Sammy, too . . . . . .



Wonder how this'll effect Paypal . . . . .

Should set up a googlemail one.

Or even better buy a domain name for a fiver a year and have a better address.

Email addresses tied to ISPs are always a bad idea.

Roadkill

Yeah.

Me = n00b.

I really don't understand that stuff (nor do I want to) - There's only so much my brain will hold before I start forgetting stuff.

LOL fair enough mate - be back in MK tonight so dependant on time i could pop round tonight, if not tomorrow.

Might be easiest to setup a gmail one as then it dont matter what yer ISP (provider) is and you can still use Outlook to get the mails!!!

Paypal / ebay etc - just need to change email, they send you a confirmation and you click the link!

gmail it!!!  Awesome service.  

Just type google mail into google...

By registering for a gmail account, you can use other things like google documents, file storage etc etc..  This is all online free software, kind of like an online MS Word, you type a letter, its saved to your account, then you can access that letter by logging into your account from any computer anywhere..  

As a side note, you can further shorten your email address by just putting RK@gmail.com instead of RK@googlemail.com fyi..

If BT are any good, they wont stop your email address strait away.  Virgin kept my emails coming a good month or so after I switched, which gives you time to swap all your paypal and ebay type things.

Ofc, you'll need net access to get them.


Setting up a sky router is so easy even you could do it dean.  the instructions are in layman's terms..

Kenny

oh, dean your sky email is probably already working.  if you have your login name and password (should have been sent to you), you can access it through http://mysky.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.sky.com

That would be the ideal . . . . But not assuming they will.

And if you want to give out something posher than a googlemail address you can buy a domain name from me here|:

domains.lightsourcemedia.co.uk

And just point it at your gmail address.

Yeah.  That'd be cool.

Wouldn't know what the F*ck to do with it, though.

How much is that sorta thing ?

I know . . . .

HardRockCamaro

About a fiver a year depending on exchange rate.

Just pick whateveryoulike.com or .co.uk or whatever and then buy the email forwarding to go with it for another £3 or so a year

I would then send an email to you at

whateveryouwant@yourdomainname.com

And it would be automatically forwarded on to your actual email account which might be

youraccount@gmail.com

But I wouldn't know that, I'd just see whateveryouwant@yourdomainname.com as being your email address...
