Foolproof Email System?

Hi Writers,
Those of you who are getting your emails without any problems, what email program are you using? Gmail? Something else? We know Yahoo doesn't like the emails . . . sometimes.
What would be your suggestion for those who want to set up an account that will allow them to get their emails from CC?
Thanks,
Ed

I use my highspeed ISP email account which is Roadrunner.com and get *most* emails from CC. I also have Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Security Suite which includes Spam filters. I added "
support@constant-content.com" to the "approved senders" section which means that my security software will allow any email from
support@constant-content.com through.
I use Windows Live Mail (which is the latest incarnation of Outlook Express) as my email client. There's a Safe Senders setting under Tools>Safety Options where you can add allowed senders. I haven't felt the need to add CC to this yet as most of my CC emails go through but other writers may want to try it out.

I'm using Hotmail and as far as I know all the messages are going through fine. I don't remember ever having troubles with getting my messages from Constant-Content with that email provider. I do have
support@constant-content.com on my safe senders list though, so that might have something to do with it.

I use the e-mail account from my service provider - Bell Sympatico since I'm in Canada - and I use Outlook Express to read all the e-mails. I did have a problem before with receiving e-mails, but whether through magic or the hard-working tech guys at CC, it resolved itself. Now I get every single e-mail sent out. Maybe whatever they did to my account need to be done to other people's accounts, as well?

I use Gmail. I never have many problems getting announcements from sites, although some are long delayed, it seems. For instance, on one site, I almost always deal with comments daily, but it takes them at least three days for a notification to get through. I've had that happen on Gmail with other notifications as well, such as joining a site, where it would take overnight to get the validation email.
I also can set an address as "safe", but I haven't had to with CC.
