    He means you shouldn't use the email addresses/accounts your Internet Service Provider gives you. For example I'm with Talktalk, but I don't have or use a Talktalk email address. For that matter there's not a single mention or setting or piece of software of Talktalk on my entire PC. If you tie yourself down in any way to your ISP you may run into problems in future not to mention giving you hassle free ability to change ISP. Even getting a free googlemail account is a step up because it's independant of the ISP you're with.

    Thanks for that useful advice :T i just went and got my self a free googlemail account set up .many thanks for replying .

    I agree with what Superscaper said, but I still don't do it and use a Freeserve account that is 9 years old now.

    I do have my own Domian name and Email and use it some places but not many.

    I also have Gmail, Hotmail, Orange, Virgin, My ISP and over 500 Yahoo accounts (Don't ask) :)

    All active and working although I do not use most of the Yahoo mail accounts.

    No this has nothing to do with the Supanet issue.

    It is correct that you won't be able to get Hotmail through OE soon.
