However, if the email address is provided by your current service providor then I would imagine NO, you'lll lose it (as why should they still give you free disk space to store mail if you aren't using their service anymore ?)

	When I moved from AOL to NTL I had to get a new one.

	There shouldn't be a problem. I moved to Blueyonder Broadband but still access my old Tiscali dial up address though it (as well as my new one). In OE just click accounts/add and enter the details. You should be able to access your mail anywhere. AOL are again an exception. Bob
