I need to get a new account, as my old has been hacked.

Which one is the best.... Googlemail, hotmail, AOL, Yahoo etc....?!

Any advice would be really appreciated!

I've always used Yahoo! and never had any problems with it if thats any help

Me too.(Yahoo that is..) until recently..when every-one in my address book got an e-mail from me...with my name as the subject..luckily just an empty e-mail..

Do you use Facebook? The only reason I ask is that everyday I get emails just like the one you sent and they just happen to be people on Facebook who do all the game things on it like Mafia Wars etc - just seems a big coincidence to me

I have facebook, but I don't use any of those games or applications.

I use Operamail, free but only 3meg inbox limit, and email.ro from Astral Telekom with 20meg allowance, better for forum messages receipt.

Its because one of the people I get these emails off is only on my facebook and xbox so the only way he could get my email address is via facebook - just a thought

Nope..never been on Face-book...

If you want a .com one instead of a .co.uk one, remember to make your zip code an american one.

Remember with web mail that you need to have access to the web to read even your old, previous delivered mail, and if your broadband connection is playing up you cannot access your old mail off-line, unless you have copied and saved every single one.
An account with your ISP means that you can work off line with your past mail. Just means setting up a new account if you change ISPs in the future.

I have one with Plusnet for family (only a few in the address book so not many to inform if I change ISP.
Also have a Gmail account for online purchases.
A Windows Livemail does for forums and other web use.
Finally, I have a Yahoo Canada one for the sites that need you to register to access certain bits of the site.

With Yahoo! you can set it up so you can use an email application to download your emails to read them offline but I prefer to keep it web-based so I can check my emails when I am on holiday etc

i have googlemail (sky also use googlemail) & have configured outlook to retrieve my email

Windows Live Messenger loads when I start. Does anyone here use it, and why?

A 14 year old girl on face book invited her friends to a party and posted her address.

The Police have stepped in, the party is cancelled, after 22000 reckon they will turn up.
