Email Addresses...

[juicyjamie18]

<P>Does anyone know where I can get my own email address eg: J [email protected], the XXX being whatever I choose?</P>
<P>Also, do I have to buy webspace for it to work or can I just buy the email address. Sorry, I'm really dumb with stuff like this. </P>

You can get an internet based E-Mail account for free and obviously you can access it from anywhere providing you have Internet Access at WW.BT.YAHOO.COM/MAIL. go to that web address and click register and it will take you through a wizard

Thanks, but is there one where I don't have BT or anything else in it...just whatever I choose.

Not that i know of. I work in IT and i havnt heard of it. Everyone has e-mail address's with the ISP name in it for eg xx@aol or xx@btinternet etc

I used to have a website called jamiesworld.com and people could email me to [email protected] but I had to buy the domain and the space and everything to get that...but I just wanna know if I can just get the email without the website?

You need to register a domain name eg. juicyjamie.com then you need to get someone to host your emails using that domain name (mx records and the like) and tell them where to forward emails to (a mailserver on the internet).  This is a very basic answer to a more complicated solution.  Speak to any web / mail hosting company for a detailed solution.
