Free email
account and why do I need it?
There
are several reasons why I recommend a free email account. The
main reason is spam (unsolicited email). When you sign up or
shop for things on the internet, your email address is harvested
and used by spammers to send you email you don't really want.
You can block their address until your mouse turns blue, set
your filters to the highest level and you still get it. That is
why you never give out, sign up for anything, buy anything or
contact any website with your personal email. Use it to only
contact your friends and trusted contacts.
The solution is to create a free disposable email account or two to use for
any reason other than your private matters. Then if it gets too
crammed with spam, you can abandon it and set up another one. I
recommend and use the following free email account providers.
Hotmail.com
