Hi, Marty,
It sounds like this woman is an ultraprivacy freak. I've never yet had a
problem with g mail. I've never been asked to type in a verification
code so I could keep using it. Their site is very accessible compared to
yahoo and hot mail.

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

Their local New York City provider and I've liked their support and everything. They treat 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.

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 <http://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.
