Hey Guys!
I am so happy to tell you about my new email service --> www.BlueTie.com

It is the most amazing, feature-rich email service which has saved me so many headaches and stress. I just signed up and created an account with them a few days ago. It is Totally FREE. I have created folders and set it up (easy to do) so that certain emails filter right into the correct folder. Ebook inquiries, lost download links, contortion questions, family emails, 1stepsystem emails all go into their correct FOLDER right away! It is amazing. If you have your own domain name, like www.Honestriches.com then you can also create email aliases. So when you are writing to people from this bluetie login area, you can choose to use any alias you create from as many domains as you like. For example, I can create three aliases for three totally different domains:
holly@honestriches.com
holly@bendychic.com
holly@traveling-baby.com and use those as my name/from area of the email. You can also put contacts into mailing groups (lists). If you do this, just make sure you go into your cpanel of your domains and fwd those domains to your blutie email address.

Bluetie also has a calendar built right in so you can manage tasks, projects, business goals, etc. and it will remind you of them if you prefer. It also allows you to invite others (for those who are working on JVs with you) to view and share your calender so you can more easily collaborate and get things accomplished. Pretty amazing tool with so many features...www.BlueTie.com LOVE IT!

Hi Holly, I was looking through the Blue Tie site. For emails it looks great and I will probably transfer my accounts there.

My question, how does it create mailing lists? I couldn't figure it out. And does it have any feature so that people can fill in a "Contact Form" from a blog or website, so that you don't have to publish your email address on the Internet?

Or something so that you can put a form on your blog/website that says "sign up for future updates and newsletter" and the person only has to enter their name?

Sorry for so many questions, I got a bit lost trying to figure it out on the site.

Hi,
You can create groups, then you can easily put any person who emails you into that group. You can do mass mailings to them through there. I need to check on it to see if you can post a code for them to signup to your newsletter..I will get back to you on this!

thanks! now I get it. Yes, please let me know if you find out anything. I made this http://freepoemsonline.blogspot.com and was thinking it would be nice to have a form people could fill out to be notified in case new poems are added or whatever....

I just looked at the poem - how very beautiful!

thanks! now I just have to make time to add the rest...
