Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I like the idea of having a kids group along the lines of Listen-Up. It might be good for Hannah to have contact with other HOH kids. My question is how to appropriately set her up with email. I am hesitant to get her own email account on Yahoo or elsewhere because of the spam that still leaks through the filters. She is quite naive about deceptive ads - this morning she was telling me very excitedly that we had won a 141 piece tool set from a junk mail flyer from a car dealership. But I don't want her going into my Yahoo mailbox either and looking at all my stuff. Maybe a restricted email account where only people on a defined list can email to her? Does anyone know about setting up something like that? - --- Barbara Mellert wrote: > Well, we could easily setup a yahoogroups list and make it restricted > > and have folks " audition " much the same as they do on Listen-up.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I just wanted to share my experience..for what it's worth. I have three different emails. One which started as my personal account became so overrun with spam that I created a new one. Both of these were with Yahoo! The second one stayed spam free until I had joined a news list that apperently was selling our email addresses to businesses. Then I also have one through my internet provider. I get no spam at that one because I only give it to certain people. I've had this one for three years and no spam! I can easily understand your concerns about the email. All of the groups that are done through Yahoo! (like Listen-Up) can also be viewed on the web. You have the choice when joining a group to get individual emails, get digest emails, or get no emails. Maybe for your child going no mail and letting her view the correspondence on the web is the way to go. Debbie Pyle wrote: My question is how to appropriately set her up with email.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Hi - I did set Tom up with a yahoo email account and it's worked fine for him. He's gotten very little SPAM but he knows the rules and is very careful about what he clicks (I confess to putting the fear of G*d into him!). And I get to check his email from time to time to make sure there's nothing odd going on. So far, it's worked well.
