Can you have the same first part of an email with two different service providers-eg if you're called J Smith

and your email is jsmith@hotmail.com and you decide to get an email address with, say AOL,then could you have the email address jsmith@aol.com-or is it the case that once a certain form is used on one provider it's no longer available on another provider,even though the final part of the address is different?


BTW,I'm not talking about transferring your email from one address to the other,but rather having both email addresses.

You can use it as many times as you wish as long as it is with diff service providers.





So as long as you can find service providers that haven't already had the name being taken you will be fine. For eg, I have my name on my gmail and also on my yahoo and also on hotmail.





The diff service provides don't corelate with each other so it is only on their servers that you can't have the same name as then it wouldn't know who it is really meant for.
Reply:yes u can, but its still a matter of getting it before anyone else
Reply:of course you can - as long as the name is not already in use with that provider / domain.





see, I've got my name as adress with three different providers. all adresses work.
Reply:Yes you can. I have the same name@hotmail.com, name@hotmail.co.uk, name@yahoo.co.uk, name@gmail.com, as well as a few others too.





As long as no-one else is using that name, you should be OK.
Reply:yes you can, you can use the same password as well as long as noone else has registered it.
