I agree with you Woody concerning a stable email. I do lots of genealogy as well but have moved to different areas at times and have had to change my address. But Janet has been so upset over Nomoerack that I was curious as to why Janet would put up with the hassle of fighting advertisements. Then you explained that AOL appears to be the problem and not the catalog company. When I move I usually just re-sign up to the list with my new address. I have wondered about outlook.com. So far Thunderbird has been a good choice for me. But if it starts using advertisements without my permission then I certainly will not keep using them. I POP from g-mail to Thunderbird because I do not like g-mail's setup. Thanks for explaining the Nomoerack problem - it has been very interesting.

A lot of email hosts go out of business, sell out, or become quirky, such as Yahoo. If one is in genealogy and leave posts or comments for others to find in later years, one wants to ensure that others will be able to make contact. There are so very many that have posted on genealogy sites and lists in the past and cannot now be contacted because the address is now dead. AOL may be annoying, but their addresses are extremely stable over time, and that stability is very important in genealogy. I've kept my old AOL address established in 1997 just for that purpose. > > > But if one wants to change e-mail addresses, I recommend outlook.com. It has received excellent reviews. Further, unlike Gmail, it can change its listing from threaded groups to non-threaded e-mail. I haven't installed it yet, but I plan to. > > > Woody > > >
