General Computer Questions, Etc.

I want to start this post by publicly thanking Torq for his assistance in helping me get back into the forum.

I do have a bit of an issue when it comes to my e-mail that I would appreciate guidance on. My yahoo e-mail box is currently frozen, and I've tried several steps to unfreeze it, to no avail. Yahoo seems to be advising not to delete my account, even though they say that I can open a new one.

I cant have a password sent to my Comcast email if I get logged out, because this is what kept me out of the forum in the first place. I tried to change my forum contact from my yahoo to the Comcast email, and Comcast was filtering out the messages from the forum, as they have recently undergone changes in their "spam filter programs", whatever the heck that means.

Although I was able to get back into the forum when T sent me a password, I wouldnt be able to have one sent to me by the forum auto email if I get logged out again, because my forum contact email is my yahoo email address. Hopefully I can just use the one T gave me.

I've been told that hotmail also often filters out email contacts from the forum.

So, my question is: What should I do? Which email should I use for my forum e-mail contact, and what do I do if I get logged out again? Should I change my forum email account to the hotmail one, or see what happens with yahoo, and give the new yahoo account if I have to open one?

Any guidance that T or anyone else would have for this issue would be appreciated. Thanks.

One other point I just thought of: With my yahoo email box being frozen, at this point the forum technically doesnt have a "valid" email address for me, because I cant log into the yahoo account to get passwords or messages from the forum. Is this a problem?
