Free E-mail Service - Is it really such a good idea?

lava.alt
i also have a lot of email acccount ... like 3 or 4 in gmail, 2 in hotmail, 1 in yahoo, 1 in the places i work and another from the school where i study ... it depends of the situation the email i give to th people .... for academic stuffs i use the one of the school, for work stuff the one of the company and for friends and people i meet the other accounts ...

and you are right ... is ridiculous to give your hotmail account for a job ... hehehe

I just think an e-mail address is just an e-mail address. Some people just don't want to spend 20 bucks just for a e-mail address of their site.

Most POP3 accounts require you to paid for SMTP to be use through e-mail accounts so it probably best if you get a paid e-mail account so you can use in your favorite e-mail program.

Gmail is free and lets you SMTP in your e-mail program but unfortunately you need someone to invite you to Gmail if you want an account.

I mostly use my Gmail account and not my Hotmail account.

And come to think of it, free email provider provides better and more mail services to their users because they have more user and more opinion to make their services better... Whereas paid onces ppl didnt know if that particular email services is great and didnt want to trust them and thus lose more client..

I use several e-mail addresses too....yahoo.ca, gmail, the ones that came with my hosting account (squirrel mail, etc.) and lycos (although I'm using this much less than before...especially since they've started bombarding it with banner and pop-up ads). Probably thinking of cancelling my lycos account altogether - do you just send a request to the admin at lycos?

Think about it from this point of view. Your at a job interview and your interviewer asks for your email and you say:

12xxSSJ4_Gokuxx21@hotmail.com

After you tell him your email he is going to direct you too the door. Thereby, losing your chance at the job. However, something like this:

JohnDoe@hotmail.com

Would at least make you look decent and not some freak who is childish and obsessed with DragonBall Z.

Well, thats my 2 cents.

I have a lot of emails. I have one yahoo for signing up for things, especially ones that I expect a lot of spam from, one from my isp for professional things, one from hotmail for random things, and finally my one from gmail for personall matters. I have a couple of other emails too, but I don't really use those much.

People shouldn't be taking decisions on your email address! Personally I use the email address I got from my ISP for all professional matters as it is different (small company) and looks vaguely professional compared to a Hotmail or Yahoo address. However, I have no problems with people using free addresses professionally, as they are no different to any other email service. As i said I too use several accounts for different purposes but i neither judge a person by the domain of their email address or its nickname. Neither do i think it would be an issue when hiring someone unless the email address is profain vulgar racist or so on following along the lines of the rules for posting in this forum.
