: : : 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 : Wanda thanks for the detailed information on this : question. I hope in the near future I'll be able : to actually help someone on this board instead of : just asking questions. :
