Years ago my favorite webmaster (a fella we all know and love dearly here) also hosted my e-mail service. ?ÿBut he switched my e-mail service provider to Microsoft Outlook. ?ÿIt works very well. I use the Outlook desktop program. ?ÿIt is cheap too, $19.95 per year.

But, for the past three years in a row it has proven nearly impossible for Microsoft to allow me to pay them to keep the service going every year, either automatically or not.

Has anyone else had similar trouble? ?ÿAny solutions? ?ÿI just end up on the phone with someone every year now to resolve this temporarily for another year. ?ÿAny alternatives? ?ÿ

?ÿ

Microsoft no, I had to switch out the credit card and it was simple. But, QuickBooks, that was near impossible. I finally got someone with the company that stopped all the nonsense and allowed me to change cards.?ÿ

Having a Gmail ID will practically sign you into most everything plus it is possible to forward any certain address to another email account you have.

Microsoft actually called me today & got me squared away again for another year.

@brad-ott

Why would you pay for an email service when there are so many free ones available?

Storage probably. I've been using gmail for about 6 years, and hit the free limit (5GB I think) a couple of months ago, so coughed up about $20 for an annual thing for more storage.

Ive been using man for almost 20 years and have email files back that far with. A lot of 2M files attached to them and never had a problem. Never have paid a dime.

My internet provider offers me a email for free.

Some guys have their own email server. I'm not sure how they do that or if there is a fee.
