Why do you need email? To be someone on ye olde t'InterWebs you need a presence... to have a presence you need an email address! Every site you join will require you to register, and will send you an email to verify your identity.
Don't rely on your employers or your Internet Service Providers email. You may change jobs, or ISPs and with that you lose your email address.
Anyway, you can use any email client you want, but I would recommend that you go with GMail. Its a google product, and as such its pretty simple interface. There are two ways of getting a GMail address:
- Gmail - https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=mail
- Google Apps - http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new
When you have an email set up, go to the Getting Started Guide over at Gmail. You will see the following tips:
My additional tip is to Keep your email box empty. Archive all your messages because the search feature always find the message you want. If you subscribe to NewsLetters, then filter them as they come in.. you could actually get them all sent straight to Archive if you don't read them, but want to search on them.
Do you have any tips for using Gmail??
