Don’t use the mailbox that comes with your Internet connection, because if you change Internet providers you’ll lose your email address. Instead, sign up for a free mailbox with one of these webmail services:
-
Gmail is Google’s mail service. You also get a free Google ID that you can use for an online calendar and other services.
-
Yahoo Mail also gives you access to Yahoo’s other services, like their Flickr photo-sharing site.
-
Outlook.com is Microsoft’s mail site, the new version of Hotmail. You can use your Microsoft account for other services, like OneDrive, where you can store files online.
