Hotmail vs. Gmail

I have a BIG dilemma.  This week, I received my second email of the month saying that I had won something and not returned the sender's email within the allotted time.  The first person said they blamed their yahoo mail, but by the second time, I started thinking it might be my hotmail.  So now I am thinking I should start switching everything over to gmail....

My accounts are fairly linked already.  Because my gmail is currently my secondary account, I have my gmail coming into my hotmail account.  I know the option exists to flip that though.

Have any of you bloggers out there ever switched email addresses?  Did you resubscribe to everything at once or did you do it gradually?  I am an email subscriber of a ton of blogs and the thought of switching them all at once is beyond overwhelming!

I need advice...help!!!!

Okay I know how bad it stinks when you get a winning email, respond, wait a few weeks and receive nothing in the mail. However, I think it is the internet itself and not the certain email account. I say this because it has happened to me as well, several times and I am using gmail... What I do now, is when I get a winning email, and the blogger does not respond, I usually go post on their fb or blog to make sure they got it. Hope that helps ya some.

I wish i could help you. I'm clueless about this. Have you check settings and options and fAQs?

I agree. I wouldn't change email addresses, just leave a post on the person's blog or webpage instead :O)
