PhysicsForums is now offering @physicsforums.com email addresses for all members, utilizing Windows Live services. Signups are moderated, and members should use their usernames for verification when registering.

Greg, its been so long and you haven't fixed this yet!

I can send, but not receive. The bounce back message I get is:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (state 14)

I wanted to get away from the norm of having a @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, etc addresses and have purchased my own domain. But it would be awesome to have a [fully] working @physicsforums.com email. Kinda looks good on resumes.

Sorry it has taken me so long here. Why is google trying to deliver the message? It should be hotmail.

I have two questions. I couldn't find a suitable thread(s)! So, I am here.

(1) How do I change my user name and password?

(2) Where is a thread where physicists can present/discuss out-of-mainstraem topics?

Thanks.

Thanks.

It's essentially a hotmail account so I assume through their system. There are not areas on PF to discuss non mainstream topics.

Does it still work?

We have 325 PF email accounts! :)

Whatever floats your boat, but I must admit I don't get the point of this. Currently all my email comes to my standard email address and Thunderbird is set to automatically drop PF emails into its own folder. What is the advantage of another email address?

To Jjjxy at Post 5:
I did not get a clear answer as to how I can change my username! I don't know what "hotmail" is related to PF?
I think there should be a thread where people can discuss freely outside the box.

Feel free to start your own forum for that.
