I was engaged in conversation with my colleague in the
office today and asked the following questions:
Need an extra email address for work, school or family
without wanting to go through the hassles of opening a new email account?
Have felt like changing your yahoomail account user name or
you think your email account name is childish and you want something mature and
not “vague-sounding”?
The answer I got from Adeniyi was a resounding “YES”
although not without asking me a question of his own wanting to know if I feel
like that as well I told him “I need to”. With that conversation already a
stale gist in the office already, I decided to explore my yahoo mail options as
to how to forward my email to my HTC Desire Z phone which for the umpteenth
time I formatted today because I want a custom ROM on my phone and the phone
was beginning to all of a sudden “tire me” and lo and behold I stumbled on the
solutions to the questions I asked Adeniyi earlier. I tried it and it worked
and I have decided to share my findings. To Get an extra, free email address
linked to your existing email account. Login to yahoo mail account,
Go to Options—Mail Options—Advanced options –Mail Accounts --
Create an extra email address
Follow the on-screen instructions
from yahoo and obtain your extra email address Now that you're all set up,
here are a few things you can do:
Send messages from your extra email address or the
old email user name -- just pick one using the pull-down menu beside From:
Receive messages sent to both addresses in your
existing account
Log in anywhere on the Yahoo! network (Mail,
Answers, Messenger -- the list goes on and on...) Pretty exciting, eh? So
start putting that new extra email address to work now. And there you have it Please note that You can only have one extra address at a time
