I can't tell you how many instances I have come across the truth to this. Especially a hotmail account. You have a valid point.

If you don't answer the emails, customers will get upset. If you deal with spam, you lose time. I use free emails addresses in the reply because I don't want spam. I don't like to use email filters either, so in this state of things, there is no real solution to me.

Well, I think it very difficult for a prospective customer to pay any attention to your business emails if you’re sending them out through free accounts such as yahoo or hotmail.

As a matter of fact, many people instead get frightened with the idea of getting something free. It makes no sense to be promoting or developing a business and, at the same time, be running up and down to search for FREES. A sound business should generate the necessary ressources to make it grow. People do know and believe, regardless of their culture, that in this world, every thing we can expect for, have, gain or earn has a compensation. Something for nothing is not possible! And let's never forget, even our prayers are only heard when we accept paying a tribute to the Lord: SAYING THANKS FOR WHAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT. Here’s a fantastic advice!

Yup, I'm sold. But, I realize many clients will equate gmail accounts with hokieness. The answer? Pretty simple. - create a catchall domain at my website e.g. lou@myrealdomain.com - forward all email to lou@myrealdomain.com to my gmail account - set up a POP3 account for lou@myrealdomain.com in my gmail config - gmail receives incoming email to lou@myrealdomain.com and, when I reply, sets the reply address to lou@myrealdomain.com (which is what the recipient sees on the From: line). Works great for everyone: My clients see a reassuring "real" domain; I get to enjoy the benefits of gmail. :) Gmail’s won me over, love the key features:

I've actually had clients who were driven to get a web site when vendors refused to consider a credit app without a valid web site address. The devil is in the details. It's amazing how such a small detail, like the form the address takes in the from field, can shape the recipient's opinion. Go ahead and ignore/argue with the advice offered in this post. I've seen first hand the power such minute details can make on a business' bottom line.

I still prefer to be in control. It’s true that we have less control by using the free email.
