I have now migrated away from Platypi007@hotmail.com fully, I will no longer log on to check that account for messages, I'll let it close out and use it only for MSN messanger. I have begun migrating away from nickgosey@hotmail.com as well, but as I have recently had accounts that used that as the primary address (ebay, half.com, etc) I will continue checking it for a month or two, to make sure I have everything changed over before allowing it to lapse into oblivion.

I will now solely use addresses at platypi007.net, so the current address you have for me is still active. I have also migrated away from using Outlook to check this account, as the only reason I was using it was for it's ability to use Hotmail. I have moved over to Thunderbird, the mozilla mail counterpart to Firefox (formerly known as Firebird, formerly known as Phoenix, a much better name IMHO alas legal issues prevented them from keeping it).

Let me say, I love it! It's faster and easier to use than Outlook, and the spam blocking features are just far working great. I have it set up to filter mails into various subfolders, and it catches pretty much all of the junk mail i've been getting to my p007net addy (Billy mentioned when he was here last month that he things his hosting service is being targeted for spam, that being why I have been getting so much lately). Yay for progress. The migration over was simple, for they have made importing the addybook and messages from outlook a snap. I'm happy.

I know most of you use web-based e-mails, but if any of you are using a POP3 service I would encourage you to try out Thunderbird, espically if you're using Outlook.
