We are in the process of switching everyone over to any web-based mail client that will offer better SPAM and Virus protection without inadvertently blocking as many email addresses as we have in the recent past. To make the switch, all you have to do is go to www.hotmail.com (or the service of your choice) and create a new account. Once you have done that, please let us know your new email address (send us an email from your new service), and we will forward all of your bbv.net mail to the new address. For an additional $19.95 per year, Hotmail will allow you to use Outlook or Outlook Express to store your mail as before.
We can no longer support bbv.net mail in the face of declining use and increasing abuses by spammers and viruses. The online services like Hotmail are much more robust and basic service is free..
