Hi all, I'll never have a g-mail account, google is notorious for violating the
privacy of subscribers by reading their emails, and to say nothing about the
accessibility of web mail sites. I have two accounts, and don't want a whole
bunch of messages each day. Doctor Cathrine Albrecht is an internet privacy
expert, and she steers people away from g-mail, and her site is

I don't want to web-based account. Panics.com is been out for years and I've
had them for years. And they're not going away anytime soon. Their local New

their customers well. And I'm glad I have them. As I said the only thing I
want is Wi-Fi when I get home. But I have to check with them and see if they
have it. If they do I'll take it. But I don't want our yahoo account or
anything like that. Panics has DSL I think. And I think they use Verizon is
their pipeline. But hey what can you do about that. I have to find out how
many days it's gonna take me to get a landline through Verizon. Hopefully not
long. But anyway I can't believe these next three weeks are going to go fast
and then I'll be home. And I'll sure be glad. We got a thunderstorm earlier
not a bad one but it came. And I think we really need the rain. But no I do
not want a web-based account. And I want to keep what I have. I don't want to
change my email address and go through all that hassle. Especially with Yahoo
groups since I don't remember what their password is or anything. And they're
not the most accessible site on the planet either. So I'm just gonna leave
things as they are.

Yes, Rosie, exactly. That is why it is preferred to have a web-based
account, just for these situations. When I got an older friend to use the
internet many years ago, I got her a Yahoo mail account which she still
uses. She would use the internet at the library, and this was the best
option. She later got a computer at home, and we eventually got internet at
home. She now has an email address with her ISP, which she never uses, and
she also has a Gmail account, which she also doesn't use. She hasn't learned
how to do all these things yet! I have accounts all over the place, and it
takes me about 30 min at least every day to check in to each to see if there
is any mail. And them more time to respond, and so on. But each account is
set up for different types of work. It works for me.
Should your service provider have problems and you get no service, then you
can always fall back on your "free" internet account. Sometimes you can set
it up that you will get your ISP mail delivered to your web-based accounts,
but I haven't figured out how to do that. I think you did a wise thing by
getting a Gmail account. This will work as long as Google still is in
operation! We never know.

Hi, Tallguy,
When I switched to Time Warner, the guy told me it would be better to use
gmail since it has more storage than our roadrunner does. The nice thing
about a gmail, hotmail or yahoo account is that it doesn't matter what
internet provider you have. What I like about gmail is the amount of storage
it has.

If you are going to get internet service from a provider (the ISP), they
will also give you several email addresses. But, obviously, you will have
to use their domain name. That is why you also should have a web-based
address that is accessible through any internet provider, such as Yahoo,
Gmail, and many others. If anyone uses a domain name from their service
provider, it is only valid as long as they are a paid subscriber to that
service. When you terminate your association with that provider, you also
terminate your email address. Keep that in mind.

Well the problem I have with Time Warner is they wanted me to change my
address to a TWC address instead of keeping panics.com. I told them that
was crazy. I told him I didn't want to change my email address I wanted to
keep the same one.
