Your email "@provider.com" matters

Please do NOT utilize your internet provider for your personal email address.
Many people have a post office box and the UNITED STATES POST OFFICE to receive their mail instead of delivering to their house.  They know the likelihood of our government closing that location is less likely than the local Pack-n-Ship store down on Main Street.  Email is not delivered to your house and not even to your computer.  Your computer is going out to a provider to retrieve the email, just like you would go to a PO box to collect your physical mail.

Most people get there internet service through the cable TV provider.  If you move, change your account, or decide to go with another provider... they will immediately close your email account that is associated with it.  Guess what else is normally stored with your email?  Your contacts... all the email addresses of your friends!  Do you know how to save that information?

Open a FREE email account on Outlook.com or Gmail.com.  You can easily forward your current email to the new account as your friends learn your new address.  There are other services like AOL.com and others, but I really like the Microsoft Outlook.com features.  

If you want to learn more and/or want someone to walk you through this process, look into the IT Membership Service offered through MK Quilts.  You don't have to depend on the friends and relatives plan.
