HOW TO REGISTER A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS
Registering a new email address is easy, but it still requires some thought. Your email address ID cannot be changed once you register it, so choose yours carefully. A user name needs to be unique only in a particular domain. Two different email accounts can have the same user name as long as they do not share the same domain name, which is the name appearing after the "@" sign. Sign up for a new account with either a web-based service or your Internet Service Provider. Have a question? Get an answer from Online Tech Support now!
