Interesting to see how people use email addresses differently.
I pay £9.99 a year to UK.net to have my own domain that has 4 addresses. These are all forwarded to 1 gmail account, for the spam filtering, and then to my ntl addy. Done it like this for ages now and if I ever decide to move ISPs all I have to do is change the last redirection from gmail.
I pick up mail using Outlook and remove the copy from the NTL server when I do that. Gmail keeps its copies and I go in every couple of days and clear out anything I don't want, and the spam after a quick scan through.
Gives me a redundant back up if ntl's servers have problems, not totally unknown, and also stores my "important" mails away from the house.
Not sure how virgin using gmail will affect this, suspect I won't change anything.
