FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
I already have an email account, why do I need a snowbird mail address?
In addition to getting updates and news important to Snowbirds, there
are other practical reasons for having snowbird mail.
Virtually all online freebies require that you provide an email
address. For security reasons, this should never be your personal
or business address. Using snowbird mail protects your privacy and filters
out spam (junk mail)
By the way, you can forward your snowbird mail to your email account so
you can pick up mail all in one place.

I've heard of spam, what is it? Is it dangerous? Why is it so
important?
Spam or unsolicited junk mail is a big issue on the internet, it's
irritating and it can be dangerous, so it is important to have a good
strategy for dealing with it.
In the real world, everyone has received regular junk mail that says
Dear <insert name here> and wondered how on earth they got your
name. It's annoying and a bit of a time waster, but the post office does
a good job of policing it.
On the internet there is no post office service to police, and
spammers (Junk Mailers) send millions of junk email messages daily. The
majority of spam is stupid, irritating or mildly offensive (chain
letters and inappropriate online offers).
However, a small percentage of spam is potentially harmful to your
computer and or your privacy.
The two famous and destructive viruses "Melissa" and
"Happy 99" were a form of spam that attached themselves to
emails.
More sophisticated spamming techniques have now evolved including
emails that look like legitimate websites when viewed but in fact run
malicious hidden programs when anything is clicked upon. (These programs
can steal passwords, crash your computer or give unauthorized access to
your records)
Snowbird mail helps by putting a buffer between your personal email
accounts and the rest of the internet. A bit like a firewall.

I already have an email account, won't this mean more work for me?
No. Admittedly, setting up your snowbird mail account takes a few minutes.
But you can forward it to your regular account (so you pick up your
email all in one place)
In the long run it will actually save time
because it will have filtered out junk mail.
And of course the
freebies and news updates we provide will speed up your enjoyment of the
internet.
