additional e-mail address

[didappointed]

my sister has no computer but wishes to create a free e-mail address and receive it on my computer (my mail box). How?

There are loads of free email services but the majority only allow you to access your mail via the web (rather than by having it arrive in Outlook Express, or whatever other email client you use).

The most popular provider which does allow you to access your mail with Outlook Express (etc), as well as via a web page, is Google's Gmail:
http://mail.google.com/

My own preference, though, is to use Gawab (which also allows both methods of accessing your mail). For instructions on how to set up a Gawab account (and how to configure Outlook Express to receive mail from it), see paragraph 3 et seq in my post here:

Once you've set up a Gawab (or Gmail) account for your sister (and you've configured your email client accordingly), all her mail will arrive in your Inbox. It you'd prefer to place it in a separate folder (and you're using Outlook Express), right-click on 'Local Folders', select 'New Folder' and give it an appropriate name. Then go to Tools > Message Rules > Mail, to create a rule directing her mail to that folder.

Sign up at gmail.com, and you're sorted.

Best email service out there. And it can be checked from any computer with an internet connection.

(And I'd stick to just accessing it through your browser. Far simpler, and in many ways, better.)

i've used gawab for ages, never any problems, much less involved and complicated for someone of limited computer knowledge than gmail
