: : I have learned from some good people on these message boards to : : trash the Hotmail account. : Don't trash it yet - hold on to it! : I find free accounts handy for many purposes. : For example: : - to forward some of the mail coming to your domain : - to subscribe to some newsletters (then you are not trapped with : unsubscribing as this with many is nearly impossible) : It is important though that in your business correspondence you use : a regular account because you never have a second chance to make first : good impression... : Regarding Outlook express. : : 1. Is it a free download at the microsoft site. : Not anymore. It was offered for free evaluation until June. : Now it is available only for those who have previous versions. : Unless something has changed recently - you have to buy it. : : 2. Can it only be used with ms internet explorer browser? (I use netscape) : You can use it with a browser of your choice. : I myslef use it with the Netscape. : : 3. Can I use my Domain name as my address? Several addresses? : As many addresses as you have. : Outlook is your software - not connection. : If you have a few addresses - you set several accounts. : With your own domain you can have unlimited number of e-mail addresses and they : all can be forwarded to your one specific address - but all those different addresses : that *receive* your mail cannot be used to send mail. Only the one you have with : the outside world. : Perhaps you can configure something with juno - but I don't knoew if and how... : : 4. Will my addresses remain the same even if changing ISP's? : Yes. Your domain addresses go with you wherever you go. : Non-domain addresses will change if you change you e-mail connection : provider. You might have separate provider for e-mail and separate for : website. I have separate two. : For example - my e-mail address connection is wtloskot@bellsouth.net : When I will change to mindspring or intrex or whatever - my address will change. : That's why I use as my return address and my signature address wtloskot@loska.com : or wanda@loska.com - any mail that hits my domain is forwarded to my regular e-mail : account and these addresses will always stay the same even if I will dump Bell South : (which is guaranteed :-) : hope it helped. : : Wanda
