I don't particularly care if the account goes away when I change providers as I already have all my email on my own machine. Actually my very limited experience changing providers is probably atypical, as I have only had three in 20 years: the first two were dial-up and the last and current and longest is supplied over my cable company's wires (but it is not the cable company itself). But then again I am in the same physical location since 1976, also probably atypical.
I'll grant that the web mail providers allow you to do impersonation/identity-hiding, but I have not had need to do that. I have never had trouble uploading any attachments. Again perhaps my experience is atypical. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Mike Schwab Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 8:02 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: OT - disappearing responses That account goes away if you change providers or move and have to change providers. Plus it enables a lot of impersonation. And when you upload any attachments, you are certain it gets to your email host anyway.
