  • Thank you for your comments :) I have now set up a Gmail account but something totally strange is happening with my AOL I am convinced it is why I have not won much when I used to be fairly lucky on email competitions. I emailed my new Gmail account from the AOL one and it never arrived!..I got my boyfriend to email me from his gmail account and a friend and both of those emails came straight threw.

    Very strange! Hopefully I will have more luck now.

    Thanks again all and a happy 2013 xxxx

    I pay for my own domain and mail server. Four quid a month is a small investment compared to missing out on even one win.

    What am I missing out on by not using Gmail as opposed to Hotmail?
  • To gmail users is there anyway to filter emails containing words such as win?

    Click on the little 'cog' top right, select Settings, then select Filters along the top :)

    I use hotmail ad i've never missed out on anything.
  • Hi I use my AOL address for competitions and I have had lots of wins. I do have a hotmail and g mail account but find that the Aol one does get me wins and its easier to filter and I have never missed a win.
