Cable companies provide e-mail to their customers. Why not get e-mail from yours?

I don't have cable. I am on satellite. It is all that is available to me where I live. Out in the sticks!

Satellite provides e-mail accounts. Check with your company.

I think I have to pay for their internet service to have an email address, but I will check. Thanks!

What? You're getting online to post here so you must have some type of service. Are you going to a Hot Spot?

I have gmail and like it - no problems w/it since I've had it. My sis has had yahoo for yrs & she apparently likes that.

I would avoid Yahoo and go with gmail.

I use MSN as my main one. It costs about $60.00 a year, but, I feel it is worth it.

I also have an icloud and a gmail email account.

I recommend going with a web based email such as Gmail instead of one tied to your internet provider. When new internet services come to your community you might be tempted to switch to another provider and if you do so, you email address will change. You then must notify those on your contact list that your address is changing.

Going with web mail from the beginning means that your email address will stay the same not matter who provides your internet service.

I agree. I'm very happy with Gmail.

I have a hotmail account for personal use and a gmail account that I have through work. Both allow folders so you can organize your emails. Both can be customized. Both are free.

I should explain that I get my internet off of a tower that is owned by a local university from which my husband retired. I don't want to use email thru them.

If your husband is retired from a local university, couldn't you get your e-mail through them at little or no cost? Some educational institutions have special arrangements for their retirees.

I have accounts on AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail (MSN). Different accounts for different purposes. And they're all free.

I actually like AOL the best, although I know it's considered old-fashioned. I don't care!

I have GMail and am very happy with it.
