If you decide to drop them, you will probably lose access to your email address.

My yahoo works and most likely my hotmail would work too but my main email doesn't work.<br /><br />I have a Gmail but I use it for automatic archiving so if I delete an email, while on the road, I can go to gmail and get it back. Emails to my gmail will go unread as I don't check it at all.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.photobobb.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A weekend photographer</a> or <a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-23995405042528747852014-05-21T11:04:21.466-08:002014-05-21T11:04:21.466-08:00Most locations don't change any of the setting...Most locations don't change any of the settings on their router/ap so the default DHCP lifetime it too long for such a transient population. Rebooting their router clears the leases and devices can once again get addresses. These days for travelling, I rely on my iPad with Verizon LTE service. And I can share out the Internet to my laptop if needed. Much more reliable than hotel/campground Wi-Fi (assuming it's even available).<br /><br />As far as sending email, most ISP accounts require authenticated sending if it isn't sourced from their network. The better solution is to get a Gmail account and use their authenticated SMTP server for sending email. More reliable than just about any ISP solution as well as you don't care that they algorithmically analyze your email to provide you with targeted email. You can always set your "reply-to" address to anything else you want.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-33304291545690918122014-05-21T10:12:59.908-08:002014-05-21T10:12:59.908-08:00Richard:
