I was asked by another blogger for my email address and I hesitated before sending my personal address to him. Not that trust was an issue, but simply privacy. It has been concerning me for a while so I decided to create a new email account for my Eve purposes.
I went to create Kirith.Kodachi@gmail.com and got the surprising message it was already in use. Same with KirithKodachi@gmail.com and a few other combinations. Needless to say I'm not happy and concerned with someone misrepresenting me so consider this a warning about not trusting email from those accounts, they do not represent me.
My official blogging / Eve email is kkodachi [at] gmail [dot] com and I've added it to my sidebar. Although your comments get emailed to me anyways, feel free to email me directly if you want to get a hold of me.

Did you look at eve-mail.net?
ReplyDeleteNot really. I'm extra cautious of third party tools these days, and I know and trust gmail completely.
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy that someone got accounts with your character's name.
ReplyDeleteI love the gmail interface and use that for personal email. But for EVE stuff, eve-mail.net has been absolutely great...simple, easy, fast, good interface...and not a single spam on it so far (even using it as my defacto email address for Twitter accounts and such).
Wow! I'd be really pissed to find out someone had used mine.

I'm suprised by how much stuff I can sign up to with Wensley as my name, I'd have thought more people would be using it.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a bit worrying, though KK. Like Mynxee I've found e-mail to be completely fine at the moment and you can use webmail or your normal client.
