Re: personal email domain

There's a little bit of me who is concerned that asking a BP might result
in that BP stealing the client.
My contact at the customer site is a former IBMer and we know many of the
same former IBMers. I didn't ask her about the customer number until after
end of business on Friday and she said she'd try to find it Monday so I'm
just showing patience. (as best I can)

Any business partner can look up the customer number for you.

Why not ask one you know?

Jon,

Granted, I am having other issues. The main one being finding their
customer number. But the SalesFarce person doing IBM's front ending did
have this at the end of their message:

Also, is highly recommended to use a company email IBMid for your request
instead of a Gmail profile for this process. We are unable to grant

access

to third-party email domain profiles.

Please contact us if you have any questions with this.

Best regards,
IBM eSupport Team

Doing a little side work. Trying to set up an account with IBM.
Apparently they have an issue with gmail accounts so I'm looking to

find

an

email service which will allow me to have my own domain name. Not
interested in crafting my own on site server for email. Not my niche.
Any recommendations?

Will probably set up a static website with limited information also in

case

having a website is mandatory too. So a simple hosting service for

that

would be nice.
Learned the hard way to never put your phone number in a format that
webcrawlers can find it. I get a dozen calls a day at work from

scammers

spoofing phone numbers (even from coworkers) simply because I put my

phone

number on my footer on posts at IBM technical community.
