Can I redirect my e-mails

zakaroo

I am gonna change my ISP and instead of changing my e-mail address individually with all my contacts/suppliers, is there any way of redirecting messages sent to my inbox?

If your e-mail address is from your ISP (e.g., @ntlworld.com, @talktalk.com, etc) then when you leave you lose the address.

Better to sign up with a web based e-mail address like @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, @gmail.com, etc.).

Better still, get your own domain name (e.g., yourname.co.uk) and you can use that for life for e-mails, regardless of your ISP. Most .co.uk addresses are about £2.99 a year.

You may be able to (I'd suggest speaking with your ISP) but I wouldn't recommend it - what if the ISP clears out redundant email address a few months later - your emails won't be redirected anymore and you won't have any way of fixing it as you'll no longer have an account with them.

Instead, I would recommend you create a free webmail account, i.e. Gmail, Yahoo, Live, etc that you can keep no matter how many times you change ISP and send an email to all your suppliers advising of the email address change. Just make sure you BCC
