Is it a good idea to use your name in your email address or is there a safer method for choosing one?

You should have an address book with your email acct.  Put them in your address book.

Depends on the mail provider you are using.  You should have a profile or preferences link...or a help link if the first 2 choices are not obvious.

You have an option to change your e-mail name and ID, and that is what you will have to do. Use that e-mail address as your primary, there is no other way.

Use whatever name you like.  If you want to change now or change later it's all good.

Tom, I suspect that email is still the preferred method of online communication by most.  We have used other methods as our web design company is obviously concerned with such things, but what we've found is that regardless of technical advantages and disadvantages of any methodology, common usage rules the game and basically everyone who has a computer also has an email address.\n\nBest wishes!\n\nDaniel\nhttp://www.ipowergrfx.com

Yes, I think so.  It may depend on the email service you use, but I've never had a problem with this, and I have used three different services in my time.  Anybody find a result to the contrary?

Yes, live and learn.\n\nI have one Email address that I use only to contact tech support at my computer manufacturer. I never get anything else there.\n\nI have another Email address that I sign up for Google news alerts and other interests. That one gets plenty of spam.\n\nI have another Email address that I sometimes use to email other Yahoo members, it hasn't gotten hit with spam too bad yet. However, I am prepared to abandon my Email accounts like used underwear if ever the spam-lords get too heavy.

Use a different email address.

I think one that works best is\n\nyourname.yourlastname@ whatever it is you have.com\n\ngmail is a great email to have, it's professional, there are many advantages as well.  If you know someone who has a gmail account, ask for an invitation.\n\nyourname.yourlastname@gmail.com\n\nis a great address.\n\nGood Luck!

Just go to "Options" and go to your "account information" and where it says name just put your initials  (usually they require something in that spot). That should work. That way no one will know who you are.  I have done this before and it worked fine!  The account info doesn't exactly have to be your full name!  Hope this helps!

Very low probability to find such way. There are many email directories available like as phone book. But how many of us submit our profile with our email address to those directories?

Click on contacts...then contact details and put in your email as your first name and then again on nickname\n\n\nMake sure when you add someone it says your email and not your name you can change it whenever you want

U know, it would be easier to make them online so the person won't find out, but that depends wether everyone ur inviting has an email account... I'll be easier and there is a lower risk of you getting caught...

Get one of the free yahoo email addresses and use whatever name you want,  I have several of them myself.(5)  They work just great and you can't beat free.
