Hi. This is a message originally intended for Ann but I'm sure others
can use this information as well. If keeping an email address is very
important then switching isp's is not the best thing to do if everyone
knows your email address. Some isp's will let you keep a mail only
account so you don't have to pay them for dialup. The preferred way I
feel though is to either own your own domain like I do with asmodean.net
or by using an email alias such as pobox.com.
All this is probably information all of you know but I thought I'd pass
it along anyway.

Hi Raul
You mentioned something that I did not know about. E-mail alias?
I just happen to be one of those who never heard of it. Maybe you can
point me in the right direction.

Sure. There are providers such as bigfoot and pobox which don't
actually hold and store the email for you rather they forward it to your
real address. For example if I have raul@pobox.com I give out that
address to everyone who cares to have it. I tell pobox.com to send any
email to raul@hotmail.com. Then let's say I grow a brain and realize
that hotmail sucks and I want to get a real address like
raul@asmodean.net but I've already told everyone about raul@pobox.com
then I just tell pobox to redirect the email instead of raul@hotmail.com
to raul@asmodean.net. Bigfoot and pobox are two that come to mind that
do this. Bigfoot is free and I think pobox charges but you would have
to check. There are others as well that will do this. You can call it
aliasing, forwarding, redirecting, etc, in any case that is what it is.
