Ring them up and they can do it while you wait, I gather.

Thanks Nerval, I registered an e mail address on the IDNet Site yesterday, however it is just sitting there stating " being processed ", no great rush, I was just curious.

Thanks again.

I think they took a couple of days to do mine after I moved, but I wasn't in a rush either - I use Gmail for practically everything.

As a matter of interest Nerval, is GMail generally accepted these days?  Or do some places refuse to register a GMail addy?
I ask because I hardly ever use mine.

There's one or two that won't take it - Tesco won't, ebay/paypal won't, and the odd forum, but I use it for all my normal emails to/from people and all the other sites I'm signed up with.
It's down as my default email in OE since Plusnet started losing/delaying mail by a day or two, and Gmail keeps a copy as well which is handy sometimes.

I use 3 or 4 main Gmail addresses and get OE to check them each time.

It won't take an .exe file, even zipped,  unless you disguise it as something else, but I don't send many of those anyway.

Hotmail is rejected by a lot of places, but Gmail by far fewer.

Hoorah, got my IDnet e mail address sorted.

I have to disagree with you re; the Hotmail acceptance, I use mine on eBay and for Paypal, never ever had it rejected by any retailer, only at a couple of picky forums.
