Looking for Good Kid Safe Email

Hi S.,

I just opened an e-mail account with mail.com
Although it's been about two weeks now, I haven't received much junk mail.

Also, I have had a hotmail account for about 10 years and I haven't had any problems with junk mail, because it does go into the junk mail folder. Also my 3rd e-mail account is with gmail.com. I really love g-mail, which is what a lot of the colleges use to e-mail students. I've had that g-mail account for about 4 years and never had any junk mail issues. For all of these accounts, there are settings to help control incoming mail. My son is 12 years old and has had a g-mail account for 2 years with no issues.

Good Luck,
C.

Hi S., we use Zoobah.com for our 10 year old and its been great, you have control over the email addresses that can send an email to your child. its only $1 a month.

Hello S. : just a thought I wanted to add because of all the law enforcement experiance in our family. Spam and junk mail is the least of your problems.
I have one memeber who at one time did undercover work and he had the chance to monitor many youth email sites. Please becareful and as your daughter is at an age that she is a target. As trust worthy as she is evil does break into these sites. Take Care of all of you, Nana G

We got our 7 year-old son a Gmail account. It has very good SPAM filters and is very safe.

I and my children use gmail and I like it and have had no problems. Good Luck!

Gmail has one of the best (I happen to be biased because hubby works for Google, BUT in IMHO they DO). You may want her to use the account but YOU keep the password and she needs to ask for access. This way you can check it first. =)

Dear S.,
My son and I both have yahoo accounts. His has his own name and password (that I know so I can check anytime). He never gets spam because he only talks to his friends or my relatives back east.
I do get spam on mine, but I use mine for different things than he does. Even responding to certain job listings can result in "get your degree online" things, stuff like that. Yahoo is free and I've never had a problem as far as my son is concerned. He's 14 and still asks my permission to give his address to this friend or that. Your 11 year old is plenty old enough, just set the rules and be firm with them. Also, let her know you will be checking it daily just to make sure she's not getting anything she shouldn't be. My son's been so responsible I don't even check his every day anymore, but don't tell him. (lol)

I have two email accounts. One with no spam at all and one with spam. The one with no spam I don't buy anything on the computer from that account. The one with spam is where I buy things. As long as your daughter doesn't put her email in other websites, she won't get any spam.

Take a look at www.mifrenz.com I wrote it for my own children as part of my research as an IT lecturer.

Hi S.-
I reccommend Google. Literally, the only junk mail I get is stuff I signed up for. They have a super amazing filter, and you can check her junk mail folder regularly to see what they are keeping from her in box. A friend told me about it, and I did not believe it until I tried it. Fantastic. AND it's Free. You just have to have internet access.
Just go to www.google.com/mail and sign up for an account. If you need to be invited, I would be more than happy to invite you to open an account for your daughter.
Thanks!

Minors are vulnerable. Keep the password and keep them safe...

good stuff

I know the perfect kid friendly email account website.It's an AOL child-oriental kid portal.It's free service.It has lots of videos,music,and games.Here is the website:

also you an use gmail.it has very good spam filters.i even have one!
i hope you like the email website!:)

I've had Yahoo for at least six years, and I've gotten less than five spam emails or questionable emails in all that time. Unless you've contacted someone, you don't get any emails, so unless she's signing petitions to save the Arctic, or something like that, she won't get any unsolicited emails.

Most email providers have parent controls. You can lock down incoming mail by allowing all mail, only allowing certain mail, or allowing all except listed mail. I would lock it so that only mail coming from certain addresses will be accepted. Then have your daughter submit the email addresses along with the name of the friend to you. You can add them to the accepted list. Nothing else should get through.

I have AOL and yes it costs money, but they have a really good parental control on theirs. I was able to set the times and how many hours my daughter was allowed to be on the computer. I did not allow her to do any downloading at all. Also, just like the other moms mentioned you can block people. The other thing I liked about it, they ask for your childs age and they block websites that is not appropriate for that age.
