Great post! I’ve definitely seen a few absurd addresses from wannabe-professionals… I especially love the one’s in job posting on places like craigslist.

“Consutlting firm for Fortune 500 companies needs new talent to help build their award-winning sales force! Email your resume to sweetcheeks4you@hotmail.com for consideration of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

Yeah. Right.

Your email address is part of your corporate identity and therefor important. So far I only used and info@ address, but David stated a way that I like a lot better. Both professional and personal, sounds like a perfect combination to me. How important do you think a standard email signature is? .-= Paul Kamphuis´s last blog ..What is happening =-.

If your a company making money you should have a website. I think using a combination of both is the best way. The initial email should be an “info@yourcompany.com”, and the response should come from a “name@yourcompany.com”. This way the company has the respect from a client as a organization, but gets the personal response they want. But never respond with a yahoo, hotmail, or even gmail account. That screams unprofessional. Even if your just starting out as a freelancer and looking to move things to a higher level, come up with the $100 and buy yourself a domain and hosting. Throw up a clever coming soon page and set up some emails. That way you have a professional contact for your clients and you can begin working on your company’s website.

@ MCB Web Design

That’s actually GMail using the “Desk” theme. It’s one of the better themes.

What’s the email client in the screenshot at the beginning of the post? It looks pretty nifty and can’t say I’ve seen it before…

@Dela

That’s an interesting approach. I wonder if it would be worth it simply make the department the subdomain? I don’t mind long email addresses as long as it’s meaningful personally.

@Montana

I have to admit, you have one of the better names I’ve ever come across.

I always create mini templates to remain professional in my e-mails...it's only a habit now. The twitter users are right about first impression though, can't say how many emails I've taken less seriously under those same circumstances.. .-= Melody´s last blog ..Official T-shirt Design Line Launches Today! =-.
