Re: [OOL] New Customer.. Email/account question. You can go on the Optimum website and create up to 5 e-mail accounts. (I think it's 5).
---------
Consider also (if you are not already doing it) getting a free e-mail address from Microsoft (outlook.com), or Google's G-Mail, or Fastmail (now owned by Opera), etc.
That way if you change your internet service again you won't have to change all your e-mail accounts.
Note that Microsoft (outlook.com) says they don't snoop on your e-mail the way that Google does. |

| Thanks for your reply.
I know I can go there and make an account, but I was trying to ask if everyone has to do this on their own, or if customers are supposed to be assigned one. (If they are, I don't want to make duplicate accounts and such.)
I do already have email accounts at Gmail and Hotmail, as well as a variety of accounts hosted on my own domain. However, there are a few places that require an ISP email, and will reject any of the free email providers such as Gmail. This is the only reason I used my Verizon email, and it's set to auto-forward those over to my Gmail anyway. I plan on doing the same thing with an Optimum email, but I need to actually have an account first, haha. |

| I don't think they create that automatically anymore, but I could be wrong.
I also don't know if they are still asking you to choose between optonline.net or optimum.net, or just doing the latter for all new folks.
If you go to:
»idcenter.services.optimum.net/My···ntStatic
Then log in, then go to the menu item [ID CENTER], you should have access to all of that.
Edit:
And in fact on that page it says:
[New User? Create an Optimum ID] |
|
| You are not required to make a Cablevision email account. |
|
| Right.
But you'll want an Optimum ID if you want to take advantage of features such as Optimum Wifi, online account access, TV to Go, Optimum App, etc. |

If you cancel your Verizon Internet account, Email Forwarding is canceled. |
