Spam-free online e-mail

One of the things you should do when you think about going on the online dating scene is to make a special e-mail address just for this purpose. There are a few reasons to do this.

Check e-mail everywhere

For starters if you create an e-mail with a online e-mail service you will be able to check your e-mail wherever you are. For instance if you go on holiday you have the possibility to keep in touch with the people you have met and maybe you have set up a date with someone from that area. The advantages from an online service are clear.

Keep e-mail traffic separate

second reason is to keep your general e-mail traffic away from the dating stuff. You probably already have a e-mail from work and a personal one. I belief you better keep your work e-mail and personal e-mail separate. I have always done this and will keep doing it this way. The same goes for the dating services. If you keep this separate it will be easier to keep track and there are no embarrassing moments when you check your e-mail in the presence of someone who is not up to date with you dating activities. You will also see the advantage when you try to keep track of who is who. When you are logged in to your dating e-mail there is no need to separate the dating from the non dating e-mail traffic.

Protect your privacy

The last reason is to protect your privacy. Mostly your e-mail from home will have your name in it or refers to your mail or internet-provider. Not using this mail allows you to use the handle you are using for dating sites and will keep your real name more protected. If you have an e-mail from work all your mail will be passing via the server from work and the person who is managing this server will have full access to these mails. I am not saying they will read your mail but there is always the possibilities. Better be safe. No?
If you use an e-mail address from a online service all these worries will fall away.

What provider to use

What to use. There are plenty of good online e-mail services online. Like the once from Yahoo, google ( gmail ), hotmail, etc...
