Right, so I've been using the same email address for the past... um... basically since elementary school. So I've been using it for a long time and I have several websites tied to that account, but as I said, I made it back during my elementary school days, so it doesn't exactly sound like an email I should be using for every little thing.

Anyway, does anyone know of a website with email forwarding? Yahoo has it, but you need to be a paid premium user. Gmail has it, but in order to make a Gmail email, you have to verify your account with a text message, and I don't have a cellphone. From what I can tell, Hotmail and Aim don't have an email forwarding feature.

Anyone know of email forwarding websites?

And I know our BTHS emails are Gmail emails with email forwarding, but I doubt we'll keep those emails past our Tech years, so... yeah.

I could get you an @bthsnews.org email, it looks great on college apps ^^
It's also powered by Gmail, but the account is made and verified by me. You can activate forwarding easily.

I just tried to create a Gmail account again and this time I got through without having to provide a mobile number. I guess it might have had something to do with the "I don't have a cell phone." complaint I sent them. Yeah, they actually have a section in their help page on not having a phone. Kind of gets in the way of people making Gmail accounts, but I guess it's a necessary evil if they really want to crack down on spammers.

Anyway, thanks for the offer Warchief, though I don't think I should have a BTHSnews email... I don't think I can be trusted with more power than the average user, even if it's just using the site to get a few emails... It's kinda like trusting a monkey with a hammer and chisel. Sure, he might make you some awesome carvings, but he'll be tempted to fxck around with other stuff also.

There's no power involved in having the email. It's just a regular email account only its a different domain =P
