    My webmail service is eliminating free accounts. Anyone know if email client allows creating of a new email account? Not one the already is established. If not I will need to find a new webmail free account provider. But I have 6 months to do it.
    My regular email is my verizon wireless email that uses outlook express 6 and windows live mail but and is also a web mail account. But I do not want to use that account but instead create an all-new different web mail email user and password., not a guest account. I had Operamail before and then Fastmail bought it or something and now Fastmail is discontinuing all its guest accounts because they discontinued all the ads and now do not want to pay for guest accounts, so I am looking for new provider.
    any recommendations?

    I was trying emailclient on the XP PC but I think you have to import an account that is already set up and in use as a guest account, not create an entirely new account at emailclient. If doing this is possible I have not yet found out how.

    gmail for an account. mail.google.com

    If you want to also use a client application, consider ThunderBird.

    I have no understanding of email accounts or client...I think I understand guest. But if Fastmail is the current guest accounts I would not be able to use the operamail.com account in another applications. I am unable to set this up anyway at emclient because Fastmail server says the username and password is not correct. I think I will have to find a brand new free web email provider and set up a brand new username and password account at that xxx.com domain. Is this true? Meanwhile I will take a look at mail.google.com and see what it says.

    Tony or other: I tried the gmail and it was easy. Set up one account but want to remove it and create another for don't want it to show my first and last name in mails. Tried another but kept saying user name was taken and then it tried to verify, failed to recognize code 3 times, then said the phone number had been used too many times and could not be used again. So if this account exists I would like to delete it also. How do I delete accounts. I like it and want to start over but want to delete whatever I created. The first account which worked DID NOT ask for any verification where you type in a phone number, receive a code, then type it into a box. Maybe I did something wrong but want to cancel and begin fresh. But HOW?

    OK...I found the delete the account page. But now after reading it I need time to think on what I wish to do.
    How many accounts can you have?

    I do not personally use GMAIL there should be some place with in setting where you can clean out your name and or tell it not to show and or put what ever you want it to show.

    That is right. I found ways to change the name displayed, gender, birth year, alternate contact emails, and stuff I did not want. Have to hunt through it but it is there. Much more comfortable with it now.

    I have used GMAIL for some years. Nothing I don't like about it.
    Never had a single issue.
    Gmail Notifier which is an "add on" lets me read and delete inbound emails, without opening the email itself.
    That's a Security Plus.
    Learn how GMAIL works, Bill.

    How many accounts do you want? .... I don't think there's a limit.
    I have 3 different gmail accounts ... i never recommend just using one.

    I would like to use several but I haven't seen it say how many are permitted. Maybe I will try creating a few more.

    If you do a search, you will find that a lot of people keep asking the same question.... but no one seems to have an answer.
    Like i said, I have 3 and I do know people that have more than me.
    So just keep creating them and see what happens.
