1. It's more
and more likely that online merchants
will refuse your order. The reason?
Too much fraud is associated with these
free accounts; the vast majority, in
fact. So some merchants simply refuse to accept
orders that originate from them.
2. Your
emails may never reach their recipients.
Why? Because so much spam originates from free
account providers, some Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) simply "blacklist" whole blocks
of their emails – along with yours, potentially
– and refuse to pass them along.
3. You'll
lose your account if you don't
use it within a certain time. Sure, that's not
a big deal if you use it only for casual, occasional
contacts. But it's crucial if you've used it
to register at Web sites, for example. If there
are problems with your account and your address
is expired, you're out of luck.
4. It's next
to impossible to get an email address
that's easily useable, let alone memorable.
There are just too many variations in circulation.
5. You could
lose your address if you decide
to access your email differently. Want to use
POP3 via Outlook, for example? You're out of
luck with free Yahoo Mail – you'll have to change
providers and get a new address.
6. The adage
that "there's no such thing as a free lunch"
is true of these email accounts, too. Every
free email you send could include advertising
insertions, for instance. Do you really want
to be advertising an email provider's promotions
when you're applying for a job, or registering
a complaint, or communicating with friends?
So, if you're relying on a
free email account, it's time to reconsider.
We recommend a robust, unique, personalized
email account from your own domain name that
works with and promotes YOUR
domain name.
