doudou 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 I have signed email accounts with both hotmail and yahoo, but after a few years the spamming was so bad that I am receiving hundreds of email a day. I do use spam control, but sometimes important emails get filtered too. I am really tired of it. I started looking at free email forwarding services. I found Bigfoot.com, but their free service only offer 50 emails a day! Can anyone recommend a better free service? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abhiram 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 I don't get it ... how will an email forwarding service help you over come spam? Besides, isn't there an option in yahoo and hotmail which enables you to specify mail from a particular address as not spam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, isn't there an option in yahoo and hotmail which enables you to specify mail from a particular address as not spam? maybe he well use the forwarding email as the public email he will handout to other people and make the destination email address as the private email address.so if someone is spamming the forwarded adress, he will change the forwared emaill address name and since it is just forwarding. he dont need to have a new email address on the private side.. sound confusing? i got confuse too in my explanation..that wont work in the long run.. except if you can live your life by not replying to any emails you got.. 35% roughly of the spams came from you people that have you listed in their contact list of emails once there computers got infected by viruses. meanin that if you reply, you will show your real email address to those people.email forwarding just forwards.. it wont send emails..

doudou 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 Email forwarding is a great way to prevent spam. Because so many website require you to sign up with your email address to see certain contents and etc… All you have to do is to give them a forward email address, which can be switched off if you get a lot of spam from that one user. I found a couple of really nice ones online: http://www.e4ward.com/ http://mailnull.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrike 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 I can provide you with E-Mail Forwarding through my Domain Name (shrike.us). Just PM me with your E-Mail and whatever name@shrike.us you want. It's free of course, and I'll change it/remove it whenever you want. If you already found something though that's fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 bigfoot Free Email Forwarding Service? I hope you found a solution I don't recommend bigfoot exactally because they sell their emails and you receive even more spam. I have this problem, long time ago a friend of mine suggested me to use bigoot, and did that happily and announced it to all my friends. Now I can't get rid of that email because an old friend might still have it bookmarked and try to talk to me again sometime, but it sends me so much spam that I can't deal with it. Now I will create an email just to use auto-responder and point bigfoot to it, so if some real person try to send me an email he will know I'm still alive and update his contact. And spam will go to a black hole. My suggestion is that you register your own domain, with that you can create as many emails as you want. You can register on dumb sites with a temp email and then delete it, you can use forwarders, hide your mail emails, etc. Anyway, yahoo and gmail also support forward and gmail accepts to download emails from other thru POP3 and let everything on a unique account. -reply by Hikari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 OK, first of all, I recommend gmail.com as free mail offer.If you want to receive mails from somebody, give him your gmail address.If you don't want to receive mail from somebody (for instance from people wanting your mail address and you know that they will spam) you can use a spam-killer mail provider. Some of them are very efficient, have a look at mailinator.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockershive 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2009 Let me share that yahoomail has just gotten better, better than gmail or aol, i think. What's the most used email domain in the world? maybe, it's from google or yahoo. In yahoo mail you can instantly chat to your contacts inside your mailbox. This is very useful if you are on always on the net ans selling stuff online where you want to get updated every minute of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted March 25, 2009 In yahoo mail you can instantly chat to your contacts inside your mailbox. This is very useful if you are on always on the net ans selling stuff online where you want to get updated every minute of the day.This feature is also offered in gmail. On the gmail screen, you see all your contacts, and the connected contacts have a green lamp in front of their name. If you click on the name, you enter the chat mode, and your contact sees a pop-up with your message.I also love Pidgin Portable, which offers simultaneous connection to gmail chat and MSN chat : you give Pidgin your gmail username and your MSN username, it asks you for each password and it connects you to both, so you have the best of both chat worlds.
