Email is fast replacing the telephone as the most indispensable communications tool. In the U.S. alone, Forrester Research projects email will reach 50 percent of the population within five years. According to a recent Novell UK survey, 70 percent of the respondents say they could not be without email. Several factors are driving this phenomenon:

Convenience. Forrester Research analyst Kate Delhagen points out email is "...the most popular on-line activity. It's easy to use and open 24 hours a day. With email people can send photos, sound files, and other information over the Internet quickly and affordably."

Availability. The email explosion will be fueled by growth in home PC penetration. By widespread Internet access in corporations. And by new options, such as wireless email.

Competitive advantage. More companies are using electronic messaging to stay ahead of competitors. Email saves time, allows faster responses and greater flexibility.

Once you have registered or transferred your domain name to The Entangled Web, you can use it for your email. You can print the email address Joe@GreatInc.COM on your business card, Info@GreatInc.com and Sales@GreatInc.COM on your company's letterhead and fax cover sheet.

When people send email to these addresses, the email will to go to our mail server. Our mail server will deliver it according to an email forwarding table you set for your domain name.

The initial setup for your email forwarding table will be something like:

GreatInc.com ------> joe246@ix.netcom.com

In such a case, all email to GreatInc.com will be forwarded to joe246@ix.netcom.com. This includes email addressed to Joe@GreatInc.com, info@GreatInc.com, Sales@GreatInc.com, anything@GreatInc.com, etc.

If you have only one receiving email account (forward-to or target email account), you can add more user names at your domain name without changing the email forwarding table.

If you have more than one receiving email account or you have hundreds of employees with email accounts with different providers, then you need to change your email forwarding table to something like:

Joe@GreatInc.com ------> joe246@ix.netcom.com
judy@GreatInc.com ------> judy2738@aol.com
info@GreatInc.com ------> PADW21A@prodigy.com
sales@GreatInc.com ------> 12738.398@compuserve.com
order@GreatInc.com ------> Gary@worldnet.att.com
GreatInc.com ------> joe246@ix.netcom.com
