I have a gmail account but don't use it and no one has the address. I go in every once in a while just to check and clear stuff out of the junk folder. Haven't been in before Christmas and I have an email from google showing me people on google I may know and I do know them but like you use another address for all these people. Also I have a ton of newsletters from a crochet site that I just realized I was not getting in my main address on aol anymore and all of a sudden I see all the news letters I have been missing showing up at the gmail address and I never once changed that I wanted the news letters to go to gmail so something must be going on with gmail because I don't give that address out so how this news letter suddenly changed over I have no clue. They started coming into gmail beginning of January. Mary

Now I see it. DUH! I could have sworn it wasn't there before.

my main email account has been for more years than I can remember hotmail, I also have gmail, yahoo, gmx.com and a few others but any one of those is a decent choice for a free email account. I set up accounts for several of the ladies around here and went with gmx.com it is a good simple interface, gets very little spam, and works pretty well and is unlimited space. some info about gmx should you want to consider it GMX Mail I know a lot of people don't care for hotmail but I personally in all the years I have had it am quite pleased with it over all. I don't really care that much for yahoo and so only use that account for junk stuff. gmail is ok I just don't like the format but I do use it as my second email.

I don't know anything about G Mail. However, at Hotmail you can configure up to five accounts together. All a user has to do is establish them independently and link them. There after you just log onto anyone of the accounts and use a drop down menu to move about the others. You can gain entry via any of the accounts. I do it most every day. DA
