    Gmail is the best free email company to go for at the moment! I'd definitely recommend them

    What do you mean, go to this page and click on the yellow button.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • Change her home page? :P tools > internet options > https://www.gmail.com for default home page! lol

    Anyway the person that owns the account can set up sub domain email addys through their control panel

    Funnily I've just been sorting through my email addresses, got about 300 on my domain (excludes my gmail addresses etc). Didn't realise it was so many :rolleyes: but at least my spam should be reduced to zero now I don't allow undeliverable mail to be forwarded. I give a unique address to everyone I sign up with so it just shows how many companies I would have given a single email address to. Definitely worth it to make sure noone gives my addresses to spammers. :D
