Is it time for a new email address?

Is it time for a new email address? 

 

I got hacked this past week and all my clients and friends got an email from me saying I needed help in Spain.  After a long talk with my business partner, Belinda, we decided it was time for me to come up with a new email address. 

 

Of course this means a major overhaul of our marketing from new business cards to changing the rest of our marketing.  She set up a new email address for me that she thinks will work better.  Now I need to get the word out to everyone about my new email.  I receive about 50 emails a day, most junk but not all.

 

My new email address is now HammHomes@ymail.com.  Yahoo has a great interface and I am getting along with it just fine.

How about will@hammhomes.com 

that is more professional and it can be integrated to gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc  and you always have the same email address. . 

just a sugestion. .

Will,  we can always set up an email account for you in HammHomes as well.  They just dont have an interface to use for mail so we would have to pull it into another email hosting account.  I like the ymail account.  It is easy.

You should try to discover the reason you got hacked in the first place, as it could happen to you again, if the same window is left open.

Will - I'm assuming you have a good security program that sweeps your email--I know Belinda would think of that!

I've been thinking about coming up with a new one for my personal email.  I hate checking it because there is so much spam.
