Get Email Addresses that do not Change

SUMMARY: Tired of changing your e-mail address every time you change Internet Service Providers? There is a way around this.

If you change ISPs, jobs, or schools (!) a lot, you probably have dealt with changing e-mail addresses. Doing this can be a hassle if your address changes frequently, so you may want to consider getting a free e-mail address from one of the major portals such as http://www.yahoo.com, or http://www.hotmail.com.

Getting a free e-mail address from these companies does have pitfalls (sometimes lax security, sites can go down, dealing with Internet spam, etc.), but you may never have to worry about changing your e-mail address again. Plus, the ability to access your mail over the web (like you can do with HotMail and others) may be a nice bonus.
