It comes to mind that when I leave Wooster, I'm going to need a new primary email that is not Yahoo/Hotmail/y'know.

I don't mind webmail, just not one of those. Any suggestions?

I could hook you up with a divisionbyzero.org address if you were so inclined.

How much space would that give me?

[remliel.livejournal.com]

A gig amongst all email addresses, and I can have up to 60 addresses. I, however, have only 5 or so active.

*Drool* That'd be more than enough. Would it support POP or IMAP connections?

Don't forget that any ISP will give you at least one address.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I may not have an ISP set up in Columbus (or wherever I go), before I need to get stuff out of my Wooster account. And portability is a plus.

In this regard, few things beat getting yourself a web domain and making addresses on it. For the monthly price of a decent lunch, you can find a hosting company that will let you make a horde of addresses, and you get web space/ftp/cgi scripting/etc to play with.

...And you'll probably end up doing that anyway at some point. Unless there's a compelling reason not to, I'd say go for it.

I know this will sound dumb, but I don't want to open my own domain until I'm completely set up in my own place, and a bit more stable. For the moment, I'm gonna be using one or two accounts generously offered by friends, and we'll go from there.

dude, i -still- have my wooster email. i failed out 5 semesters ago.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but now that all my stuff got moved to a staff context rather than a student, I'm pretty sure they'll close it down after I leave, so that I don't have access to things I shouldn't.

ahh. right-o.
