Frequently Asked Questions

Not all free accounts are bad but you reveal lack of professionalism and personality by using a aaa.912881780@sometel.com type of address, especially when your email is used to carry the network's advertising.
Using a free account address while you do own a domain name is even less forgiveable and confusing to the site visitors.
It is hard to get a memorable address as most name variants are already taken, typically you will get only one address dave999@somefreemail.com ?.
Free accounts are associated with Internet fraud and many on-line service providers simply refuse to accept them.
Losing or changing such address, as it is so often the case, can lead to a lot of problems with the services depending on your email - such as domain name renewal.

Free accounts generally do not allow you to forward your email once you abandon the account - leaving you will a tiresome task of notifying all your contacts of the address change.
Try to get rid of your free account - the longer you leave it the more problems this will cause.
Note that some email programs (such as free Thunderbird from Mozilla.org) let you import your mail and your address book from free accounts.

Registering your own Domain Name is highly recommended for any professional. For a small yearly fee you get a logical address for life and complete control over your email addresses, which you can set up and drop at will (me@mydomain.com, info@mydomain.com, someoneelse@mydomain.com). You will be able to download your email to your local computer or you can read it on-line, just like with the free mail accounts, minus the associated long-term uncertainty. A domain name can be forwarded to your page on Netcells if you are a User or any other site, for that matter.
