Email Forwarding

dividing line

Mail forwarding means messages sent to your new address are forwarded to an existing email address. This is great if your current email address is difficult to remember, not personal enough or professional enough; but it means that you need to have an email address already.

Pros

The best thing about email forwarding services is they let you continue to use your existing email account given to you by your ISP. If you change ISPs at any time, just change the email address your email is forwarded to, and it will automatically be redirected to your new address. Forwarding services let you choose a memorable, fun, distinctive name.

Cons

With an email forwarding service, you are putting another layer between the sender and your email account. This means that you are twice as exposed to network or other problems; if either the forwarding service OR your email account is down, the email will not get through. This also means that your email may be delayed getting to you. Generally, mail forwarding services make money by adding a small advertisement to the top or bottom of each email message they forward.
