Hey Ray, Funny you should mention this. I have several gmx accounts and some time ago, one account that I rarely used, was blocked for no apparent reason. I sure didn't send any spam or abuse their TOS. So, I can't remember if I used this form or simply emailed support, either way I received...

Hey guys, I just thought I would ask for opinions on what types of domain names you would consider registering. I have a few and all are dot coms. Mine go something like this: 1. chicagomail.com - where chicago is replaced with my actual city. 2. something something mail.com - where...

In my first post I was assuming that blah.com was your own domain name. If it is, and you're just asking for opinions on what to use before the @blah.com, I would personally go with jdoe@blah.com. I wouldn't include my middle name or initial at all. That's assuming j is the first initial in...

In your scenario is "Bob" your middle name? If so, why would you want to include your middle name in your email address at all? Why not just, jdoe@blah.com, or johndoe@blah.com, or even john.doe@blah.com? Unless of course blah.com is actually an email address at one of the big outfits and you...

On the bright side, that's one less unneeded account to worry about.:) I do have a few accounts at gmx.com that I consider "needed", so I will have to start moving some of that stuff to other accounts away from gmx.com. You know the old saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and...

Just a little heads up about gmx.com. I had heard other people complain about getting their accounts blocked at gmx.com but I had never had that problem until the other day. I tried logging in to my one account and was told that it was blocked and that I should contact support. I contacted...

As far as I know, if you're using gmail, you would be required to have gmail.com after the @ sign. You could not use toby or sales@gss.com unless you own the domain gss.com. You could use the domain names you purchased at godaddy for your business cards if they're short enough for your...

Secure email? Really? Ask Gen.Petraeus about secure email.:D Seriously though, it depends on your definition of what full security is. Encryption? Most folks on the other end don't want the hassle. Adopt the attitude of Kramer in Seinfeld. "I'm out there Jerry, and I'm lovin' it!" Oh...

As far as gmail is concerned, yes you do own both addresses. Either one should work just fine. Other email services are different. Aol for instance is not like this. I have my first name dot lastname at Aol, but I can't drop the dot and still receive mail. Someone else is using that name...

Hey DonnaR, I sometimes noticed glitches when trying to sign into some of my mail.com accounts where it would give me an error message saying that the wrong user name or password were submitted. This problem always seemed to resolve on its own after a very short period of time. Have you tried...

Now, if the OP had asked which are the top three paid and free email services which don't get talked about a lot, that you personally use. Paid: 1. Fastmail - this is the only paid email service that I currently use. I have domains which require an annual payment and they are hosted with...

Hi Ray, I actually don't use Luxsci services as they are way too expensive for my tastes. I only mentioned them as they get nothing but rave reviews everywhere. I can't figure out why they don't set more competitive pricing for their services. Zoho has a lot to like. If I were gonna nit...

Like the guy on Cajun Pawn Stars, I would be classified as a repurposer of email accounts.:D Actually, I have way too much time on my hands and sort of got addicted to trying out email services. Then I found EMD and this great site as well, and they just furthered my addiction.:D I have way...

You didn't specify as to free or paid services. Paid: 1. Luxsci 2. Tuffmail 3. Polarismail Free: 1. Zoho 2. Lavabit 3. Yandex There are a few others that don't get mentioned too often either. These are just a few.....
