Email Server is Sucky Sucky

Heh, well basically i'm finding my current email server "fsnet.co.uk" taking ages to pick up my OCUK thread subscriptions and stuff like the famous online marketplaces seller/buyer notification emails.

Could this be a email server issue?

What email providers are usually reputable?

Dumb question, but is there anyway I could simply transfer my email address over to another one?

Depends how much control you have over your email domain. Are you able to change the DNS settings for the domain?

fsnet is freeserve isp?

Get yourself a google gmail account and use that instead.

You can't transfer the address but it might be possible to setup an auto forward which forwards the email to your new address.

Be careful though, some isps delete mail accounts if they aren't used for a certain period of time.

Fortunately I do have a Gmail account. I just don't want to have to transfer all my registered sites to another account.

I can't change the settings of the DNS either.

As for fsnet.co.uk, i've had it since Freeserve, before it became Wanadoo and now Orange. I have to visit the Reclaim Account page, they surprisingly still have up every few months as they'll try and delete the account, lol. As to why i'm trying to move now.
