We have a really successful business in my area that uses AOL for their email address. Not a DJ business.

I know that many of us would laugh at that. I would too - and sorta do - except that this guy is really successful.

Which internet email services would you say are acceptable for use? I happen to use gmail.
 
I have stuck to the thought that many folks just arent as anal as some of us seem to be about this issue. Having said that I use the jtv360 at 360degreesent Dot com for all of my business stuff.
 
aol???? they're still around?????(America In Line...Welcome, you have porno spam!)

For business I use my business domain. For personal I use yahoo.

Heck I'd be embarrassed to use @aol.com for my personal email address. :sqlaugh: :sqwink:

I personally use @mydomain.com and filter them into Gmail for the most part.

Same here. I think it looks a bit more professional. That said, there's nothing wrong with using something like yahoo.com or google.com for your publicly displayed email domain. It's a matter of preference. :)
 
well my Millionaire Uncle and Aunt who own a rather large cabinet company in Oregon still used Juno mail for business and personal. If the website is finally going perhaps they got a business email with the server. I will find out. He built this business from the ground up over the past ten yrs and he did it with a Juno email address.
 
I've been using Hotmail for 10+ years to the best of my knowledge it hasn't cost me any business. I like the idea I can check it from anywhere.

I've never felt that alot of people even notice.
 
gmail all the way here. Both personal and business, but mainly because I use the gmail and it is auto synced to it
 
You've got mail.

You can't get it... but you've got it. :D

AO Hell has been around a long time. It's possible that the business owner Papa speaks of prefers not to change his established email address. Perhaps he figures it's the addy people remember best. I'm gonna guess he's been using it for years.

Kinda like folks who still pay AT&T every month for long distance phone service. ;)

At one time, AO Hell was the Wal-Mart of ISPs. They remained on top 'til the $15.00 per month upstarts grabbed all the new dial-up puter users. Heck, CompuServ was offering free Internet access through proxies... one just had to ignore the ad banner, lol. :D

For my part I use fred @ mydomain.com. It is very easy to set up email through your domain host.
 
Believe it or not, been doing swell with Peoplepc.com. I guess we lack e-mail sophistication in my area....:sqerr:
 
I use trebleclef.cjb.net which also allows me to create whatever email address I need
which I also have

trebleclefdj.cjb.net
trebleclefdjs.cjb.net

trebleclefdj.com.au
trebleclefdj.com

it also good when you have

trebleclefdj[at]gmail.com

trebleclefdjs[at]gmail.com

but use one main one - *@trebleclef.cjb.net

works for me

(oh if you saw how many accounts I have here, you wouldnt know where to look...)
