Email ID Suggestion

[sunveer]

I want to know whether I can include my country name while choosing the professional email id?

[mastablasta]

huh?

you mean that the country could be known from e-mail address? no it's not necessary.

if you want to you could create domain with your country name in it. e.g. bbc.co.uk

Which is more professional?

firstname.middleinitial.lastname

or

firtname.middleinitiallastname

[mastablasta]

firstname.lastname unless you use middle name.

or you can also have only first name. edit: it's easier to remember for clients.
your email if propperly set will have full name anyway. something like:

FirstName MiddleName LastName - firstname@example.com
or

FirstName MiddleName LastName [firstname@example.com]

[sunveer]

firstname.lastname or firstname username is not available.

And only available choices are:

firstname.middleinitial.lastname@example.com

or

firstname.middleinitiallastname@example.com

[mastablasta]

tough choice then as they both suck. what kind of service provider is this? :-O

go for second one it might be easier to spell it out if you need to tell it to someone over the phone.

I want to use gmail only as it is somewhat integrated with many services.

[mastablasta]

and gmail doesn't have more options?

sorry, but when i first signed up with it i did it via invite. it was a long time ago...things must have changed since then.

anyway i remember manually creating email addresses not so long ago, but we did pay for google apps/domain. so it could be the options are different there.
