It's finally gotten to the point where I will no longer be an email hostage to Comcast. If you have me in your address book/contacts, you might want to update it.
I'm going to buy a domain and some hosting soon but I already have the following email address and my mail program pointed to it:
s-m-i-t-h-d-u-c-k AT g-m-a-i-l DOT c-o-m
(Remove the dashes.)

thanks for the update. I figured out awhile back that gmail was the best way to go - did not want to change my email address every time I switched isp's.
Gmail is good - plus you get Picasaweb with it. I figure gmail will be around longer than I will.

No, I won't. I won't hate it eiither though. It won't matter because I have my Vista Mail program pointed towards the Gmail POP server.
But I'll be ecstatic to not be bound to Comcast any longer.

I have both yahoo mail and gmail and gmail beats yahoo by a mile. I always have to relogin to yahoo. Pain in the ass.

That's ok, gmail's authentication db goes off line plenty.
Duck, try setting up IMAP instead of POP. That way if you get a new computer, all your email is right there.

Gmail is ok for a backup.
I hate the interface though.

That's why you enable POP or IMAP access and just use a normal email client. I can't stand their stupid way of organizing mail. But a 6gb storage POP/IMAP account? Sign me up!

It's over 7 gig now - and counting. You also get Picasaweb... Oh, I already said that, didn't I?

Yup. I use Picasaweb. I like it because of the plugin for iPhoto. It makes exporting easy. Of course, I still have to actually OPEN iPhoto and export photos to Picasaweb in order to share them...
