What happens if I bring my laptop with me to Cyprus in January? I bought a property and arranged a phone line and internet connection.Do I need a new provider and new e-mail address?How do I access e-mails to my current e-mail address.
Sorry if the questions seem stupid but I'm nearly as old as Babbidge.Also do you just buy phones and plug them in sans programming?

You need a new provider for sure. And if your email is with your provider then you will have to change it and you will not be able to access the old one. But maybe you can pay a small fee to just keep the email on your old provider but not all ISPs will do that. When you come here ask as and we will tell you what you should do step by step

Thank you

keep talling people not to get their ISPs emails... big mistake.

Nothing is simpler. If, for example, you subscribe to Cytanet, you will have a new e-mail address, such as <yourname>@cytanet.com.cy. If your old address is <yourname>@anyisp.co.uk, you set your e-mail client so that it reads from your old address and sends via your new address. Unless you want to put in two settings, you will ignore reading of the Cytanet address. Of course, you will have to keep both subscriptions open.

If you wish to monitor the old address just for a transitional month or two, while your correspondents update to your new address, I suggest you make the cytanet.co.uk address your main one. When your old subscription expires, you can then simply delete the second setting.

I never use MS LookOut, or whatever it's called, so I don't know how easy it would be to do it, but with Thunderbird it is easy.

gmail is the mail offered by google. when it first came out, the only way you could get an email with them was an invite from someone who already had one.
