Re: Email Issues In This Day and Age?
I agree about decoupling email from ISP, that is one of the reasons I registered a domain name years ago.
However if email persistence it not important there is nothing wrong with using your ISP mail account and it provides one-stop shopping. It is easy for some of us to overlook just how overwhelming Internet access can be. Great strides have been made to make it easier but to the uninitiated it is still a pretty daunting task. As far as Portals are concerned I've never used one so I'm hard pressed to say what the advantage is.
From the FairPoint brochure I received the only thing changing is email domain name, and folks using portals will no longer be able to access email from the portal. FairPoint is migrating settings, even passphase to new environment.
What I found interesting is there is no mention about changing PPPoE log in. That means FairPoint is either moving to open PPPoE or will continue to accept Verizon as the domain name.
