Free Nyckelharpa.org E-mail Address!
The ANA can now offer its members free e-mail service. This service is only useful if you already have access to the internet, either from home or from a terminal at work or your local library, etc. You can get an e-mail address like bart.brashers@nyckelharpa.org or Tim.Newcomb@nyckelharpa.org. Access to e-mail received at that address is through the usual ways: forwarding to another e-mail address, or POP3 server.
If you don't have an e-mail address but can access web pages from a computer at the library or school, then the forwarding method is right for you. There are many free e-mail services around that have web-based readers. You can set it up to forward your nyckelharpa.org email to your favorite brand of web-based reader, where you can log in and can read and send e-mail. This may be handy when travelling, since you can access it from the web anywhere (e.g. an internet café, friend's computer, etc.).
If you already have e-mail at work or school or through your internet service provider, you may still want to sign up for a nyckelharpa.org address. Any e-mail sent to your nyckelharpa.org address can be automatically and immediately forwarded to your current e-mail address, whatever that happens to be.
Benefits:
This address will be permanent, and can be forwarded to another e-mail address if/when you have one. If you graduate, change jobs, or get a new ISP, you can change the forwarding to your new e-mail and people will still know what e-mail address to use to get in touch with you. You might also want to keep your work and personal e-mail separate, or 'filter' your personal e-mail by waiting until lunch to read those sent to your_name@nyckelharpa.org.
You can change between forwarding your mail to another account, and using the POP3 protocol to access it from another program (like Eudora, or Netscape Mail, or whatever).
Plus, there's a certain status in having a nyckelharpa.org e-mail account!
