• Do you use Yahoo - AOL - Hotmail - MSN or GMail as your e-mail provider when corresponding to vendors and suppliers? You could be missing out on important e-mails if you do.
  
  On a rather unfortunate but frequent basis I get e-mails from people who are asking me why they have not heard form me after 24 hours. In 99% of the cases it is because they are using one of these types of accounts in our correspondence.
  
  The reason this happens is bacause ALL of these types of e-mail services have strong SPAM and BULK mail filters in place. These important e-mails end up in there with all of the Viagra and Mortgage related SPAM we all get everyday.
  
  The best way to avoid this is to simply NOT use one of these types of accounts when buying products and services. You should always use a good and trustworthy e-mail account provider. Your own support@yourdomain.com is a good one or create a new one called vendors@yourdomain.com like I do. Then use Outlook Express or Thunderbird (both free) to check it everyday. This way you know that any e-mail you get in that account will be important and should be looked at.
  
  It can be VERY frustrating for both you and your vendor when communications break down because a very important e-mail has been dumped into the SPAM and BULK mail folder.
  
  If you don't want to be on their mailing list after the purchase, simply Opt-Out after the sale.
  
  Here's to better communications.
