Shiny new e-mail address
A couple of days ago my e-mail ISP crashed and burned yet again: I can't download mail using POP3, which I have learned through painful experience is the first warning sign that things are about to get much worse. That's now three times in the last year, and each time it took them at least a month to fix, each time with the S.O.B. that they're moving everything onto new servers (maybe they were, what do I know, but three times a year??). Well, guess what, it's Christmas, which means that with the utterly useless Breathe running the show I can forget about things getting sorted until at least January or, on past experience, perhaps sometime around late February. So screw 'em.
Yesterday afternoon I spent a few hours setting up what I hope will be a reliable e-mail service from Googlemail, the UK equivalent of Gmail. So far so good. What have been other people's experiences? Any downside? Spam overload or spam-free?
My preferred new e-mail for everything is now peteyoung [dot] uk [at] googlemail [dot] com, so please update your address book if you have me in there. All up-to-date contact details are in a friends-locked post here. I'll also be appending all my e-mails with a **please note new e-mail address** signature in case people missed this. Thanks.
