move from one PN provider to another

I definitely recommend getting your own domain and using that for mail as it means you can move around as much as you wish without losing your address.

Bit like GMX then

Aren't GMX the same company as 1and1 ?? 

[#3]

I've got a domain via PN  www.chelmsfordsongsters.org.uk , but as you can see, I use it to run a web site for the Slavation Army choir I belong to. so the email addresses aren't really much shorter (name@ chelmsfordsongsters.org.uk), I suppose I could get another (thehulls.org.uk ?) but presumably there would be a cost to that.

If GMX goes out of business or starts charging can I take my GMX email address anywhere else I like

Of course not.

Quote from: jelv

I can do that with my .me.uk domain.

Not every wants or needs their own domain. I personally never felt the need to get myself one.

The OP was looking for  a solution that could give him a shorter email address. I suggested GMX as one solution, now I am sorry I suggested it.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean.

[#7]

Just because an organisation is huge, global, has a large turnover and is apparently profitable it doesn't mean it can't go down the pan if they make bad commercial decisions.

[#8]

Yes that is what I meant Jelv

[#9]

Oh OK, Thanks, I was wondering if you meant RBS where going into the internet business and I could get a new email address, santiago at RBS.com

The challange is thinking up a short and meaningful domain name,
