BTW, if you like onebox, but not your user name, are you sure you can't add a second mail box with any name you like?

I asked about 4 years ago, when I went back to my original name, and they said I would have to buy a whole new account. I've been using the onebox account for all my business stuff for so long, it would be a massive pain to change it, but I don't want to pay twice.

My one work around is having my two business accounts point to onebox _and_ the comcast account. That way, I get redundancy on incoming messages, but I can't get the onebox to mask the outgoing address with the new business address.

I dont' think, anyway. Hm. Maybe I should check that.

I got it this time. There are hundreds of misplaced e-mails piling up in the ether somewhere.

Do you have e-mail with your website, Bonny?

If you used a gmail account it could receive email from up to 4 (or is it 5) other accounts. You could tell everyone to send only to the gmail account, but if they send to other accounts you still get them because of forwarding. And if you want to not be tied to gmail, you can tell people to send to your new domain's email address and forward that to gmail, and set gamil to give that as the from and reply-to.

I use gmail for consolidating my old hotmail account, my current gmail acct and my wordslinger emails.

Also, I wanted to let people know about this, as it may be of some interest: Sept 23rd is International Freelancer's Day (yes, yes, I know) BUT there's this free all-day on-line freelancing conference that looks like it will have some useful presentations, esp. for marketing, time and money management. Small biz owners might find it of use, also. [link]

Ginger, I do have a contact form on thedoggylama and my web guy has set it up so that I receive mail from anything at tdl. I also have the bonny at bk-t.

I could channel everything through gmail. I do have to admit that I don't like the threading in gmail. I know that is wrongheaded of me. It should be better, but I find it unweildy.

Maybe I should give it another try.

Gmail has had the ability to turn threading off for some time. They finally gave in. This year? 2010?

Heh. It's been a looong time since I've used it.

I will definitely look into it.

Bonny, you should have an e-mail.

Thanks to Ginger and tippr, I have just placed a huge order with Vistaprint, which means I won't have to think about business cards for a very long time. Plus, I've got a couple of new t shirts, some flyers, rack cards for an event coming up, thank you cards, postcards and such.

Phew. Thank goodness that is over.

Thank you so much for the pdfs Ginger!! It's a pain not having the right tools for the job. I deeply appreciate the assist.
