E-mail Providers Good Ones Gmail Other Earthling.net Europe.com Free Scots Law E-mail Address! Hotmail.com IName.com Mail.com Totalise (now Madasafish) Yahoo.com More Providers Free E-mail Address Directory If you are new to the internet or even if you are not and are considering getting an e-mail address then I STRONGLY recommend using Totalise. Don't use the other ones, they're not very good! Hotmail doesn't allow POP3 access which means that you can't set it up with Outlook, etc. Yahoo! are prone to virus/hacking attacks and can be slow at times. The others are all based in the US. Totalise are UK based and you can check mail wherever you are by Telephone (Electronic Voice reads out your mail), WAP or by Computer. Internet Service Providers AOL - The tech heads in the world could no doubt criticise AOL for several days on end. The normal user would praise it. Amazing Freephone customer service, reasonable access speeds and excellent pricing if you use the internet a lot. If you do join AOL, use it is a normal dial-up: Login then minimize the window and continue using Outlook/Internet Explorer as normal. If you have problems, call the freephone help number and try and get the special numbers that they reserve for people who have had a lot of problems. BT - If you can work out which of the several thousand numbers you should call then BT might be okay. Personally I tried about 10 numbers and then gave up after each told me that they couldn't help. One Tel - Very good for the infrequent user - 1p a minute 24/7. No monthly charge. Tried this for a while but bills became too expensive even at 1p a minute. Sky - Excellent pricing structure, good speeds and a real competitor to BT. Using the Internet Change your Homepage To change your homepage (the one that loads up everytime you switch on internet explorer) go to Tools on the menu bar then click Internet Options and type in the page you desire.

Important Notice If you are EVER asked for personal details on the internet you should always make them up unless you trust the company you are sending the information to. Even if you do trust them do not send correct details to US or non European companies if possible. Your details will often be added to Junk Mail lists and you will possibly have to change e-mail address. Always have at least TWO e-mail addresses - one you give to people you know and another that you submit to companies and other people on the web. This way, you minimize the junk mail damage to your main e-mail address. Remember, some countries, particularly the USA, aren't as civilised as we are in Europe so watch out.
