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.

We are now making available @physicsforums.com email addresses for all members. The service uses Windows Live (formerly Hotmail). So you use Hotmail service, but your address is under physicsforums.com instead of hotmail.com

Signups are moderated. Please use your member name when signing up so I can verify.
https://domains.live.com/members/signup.aspx?domain=physicsforums.com

When signed up you can use mail.physicsforums.com to sign in and view your mail.

It would be cool if the e-mails were provided by GMail, because some people here, linux users like me, are anti-microsoft and have solemnly pledged never to open any microsoft site in their browser.

I understand, gmail does have a server similar to this, however accounts must be manually created and I won't do that.

I too like gmail better because I can use a third party program to retrieve mail from it. In order to do that on hotmail I have to pay... Plus I use Linux ;)

But I still like this a lot better than my old hotmail account.

yay, thanks for the free email acounts

@Perillux

You don't need to pay to retrieve your mails. There is a workaround for this. You can configure hotmail to forward your emails to your GMail address. In your GMail, you can simply label all mails coming from youraddy@physicsforums.com.

Hope that helps.

Visit the link in the first post in this thread. As Greg says, the signups are moderated, so it may be that you cannot use your account straight away.

Is anyone able to receive emails in their PF account because I tried emailing myself via gmail and an error occurs. Also would it be possible to get _______@PF.com or @PFMail.com to work as well?

Can anyone else confirm?

I don't own pf.com or pfmail.com at this time so it's not possible, sorry :)

Just mailed myself from gmail to my physicsforums.com mail account - it worked fine.

Do these addresses support checking mail from a third-party e-mail client? I already have three or four e-mail addresses and don't really feel like going to the inconvenience of checking all of them in my browser- they're all right there in Thunderbird for me.

What ev. I use Linux, I like it, but I also use Mac OS X and Windows on the same machine. Being anti-Microsoft is pointless; I'm just opposed to paying a lot for crappy software. (My uni provides free copies of MS software, which is the only reason I have it)

On another note, since you're so opposed to ever navigating your browser to a site maintained by Microsoft, I know something better than rickrolling to use against you...:devil:
