What a clever idea! I never thought to gather people together to do this. We are doing this with the multiple accounts for our Mac User Group (Webmaster gets main account, newsletter email only, I get two email only accounts to run LetterRip, and a couple more.) There is nothing in the transfer thing as far as we've seen to prevent differently owned email accounts sharing one main account. Just that the main account holder will have everyone else's login/password. I don't know that I'm even keeping my main home account. let alone the 17 email accounts I have for family, clubs, mail lists, etc. (I got in early, and took the email accounts of any clubs or interests I was involved in before they were taken. That way I can be [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the classic MG car list, or [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the Subie list, etc.) I hate to give it up, and will probably renew for at least the first year. I found out about this pay to play deal when on vacation, having just passed out several dozen business cards with my MGA address on them... Plus, this is my 8th or 9th [EMAIL PROTECTED] account, and I'd like to keep at least one. Most of the previous are out of business, or began charging for free accounts: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- Not many of those around, I'll bet! [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- merged [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- merged [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- changed to pay. Still around? [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- my current work address, so blanked out [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- now pay? Never used this one [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh well, wandering far off topic here...
