Permanent Email Address

 

 

New provider or new employer means new email address

New email address means big hassle

Ordinarily this requires informing everyone on your mailing list of your

new email address. And you probably have to change your "profile" on

a number of different web sites, too, in order to log in or make purchases.

Email Here's a possible solution

Many colleges and universities offer alumni free permanent email add-

resses from which messages are forwarded to the actual email provider.

 

   Here's how it works

 

1-

Go to the alumni section of your alma mater's web site.

 

2-

Create your alma mater email account (e.g., you@almamater.edu) with

 

 

a forwarding address to your actual provider (e.g., you@aol.com).

 

3-

Give all your correspondents your new you@almamater.edu

 

 

address and use it as the return address in your email program.

4- From that point on:

 Sender mails to you@almamater.edu

 

 Alma mater forwards to you@aol.com

If you change your actual email address, there's no need to inform

the world. Just change the forwarding address at your alma mater!
