What is a professional looking email address?
What's a good domain name and tld to use?
this is a stupid question, meriting barely more than 2 or 3 serious perspectives.
[reasonablename]@gmail.com
[reasonablename]@outlook.com
[somethinggenerated]@[cs.]university.edu
[something]@company.com (don't use this to search for a new job).
>>53478150
More like contact@firstnamelastname.com
>>53478150
alternatively to this, your own domain as >>53478142 suggested.
I can't think of a scenario that would justify anything else, unless you're playing up the socially awkward aspect where you can get away with@domain.com
>>53478170
there was supposed to be an eggplant emoji before the @ but i guess 4chan stripped it out.
>>53478170
I'm hosting my own email and can't decide on a domain name. Is *x*mail appropriate? X being any letter or something similar. What about tld? Stick to .com or net? No xyz or cc or donut?
@cock.li for extra street cred
I use [firstname].[lastname]@university.tld when I want to seem professional or for people I'm contacting with my real name.

Get .to and use an IDN. Set up a strict SPF policy. Use lots of subdomains - the shorter, the better.
t. xn--n3h.valk.nand.wakku.to
>>53478265
Regarding SPF: Google apparently gives you a pass already if the PTR record for source IP matches the senders domain.
And who cares about the rest?Received-SPF: pass (google.com: best guess record for domain of niggers@myan.us DESIGNATES 1.2.3.4 as permitted sender) client-ip=1.2.3.4;
>>53478347

making a gmail for social networking and contacting other graduates, so this is not for professional use
which format do you prefer?
initials.contact@gmail.com
initials.email@gmail.com
I've always done.
firstinitial+lastname@gmail.com
Without the plus.
Your school/work email is the only acceptable choice
Anything else just makes you look like a man child
>>53478217
What the fuck? No.
If you're running your own email, your domain should be yourname.com (or your-name.com - it's not worth paying a premium to kick a squatter off yourname.com if someone's already holding it).
Use whatever server/service you want, but if you want a professional domain, it needs to be your name.
>>53478113
Any email provided by cock.li if your lazy.
Or any top level country domain.
>not having a .gov
>>53479850
I looked into what it would take to get a .gov. Apparently, it would be enough to settle a small town.
I imagine a decently sized business could technically fund it. Though I'm not sure if the registrar would be too happy about selling off subdomains or whatever.
>>53479897
Or just work for the government
>>53478113
Sleep tight, Pizza.
>>53478113firstname@lastname.tld
Anything else is literal shit-tier and not even appropriate applying for a janitorial position.
Get your own domain, I have contact@firstnamelastname.net which looks fine
>>53478113
I tend to do:
Initials@surname.com
>>53478113
Sleep tight, Pizza
>>53482523
TLD is either your country code, orfirstname@lastna.me
>>53478259
Where's layer 2 REEEEEEEEE!
@nigge.rs
no other way to go.
>>53478113
reminder that if you use firstname@lastname.com you are an autistic fuck and people WILL look at you strange and think you are a dumbfuck when you give them that email for anything.
the ONLY acceptable form of email is firstnamelastname@domain.com. preferably something popular like gmail, so you don't look like an edgy special snowflake autist (that you are).
>>53483223
Gmail is usually for immature people. I'm according the benefit of the doubt to people using old e mail providers like wanadoo but people using gmail or hotmail are hurting their professional iamge.
[First initial][Last name]@[own domanin].[own tld]
>>53478113
@lovescocksinmuan.us looks really professional on a resume.
>>53478113
I'm lucky enough to have snatched
firstname@outlook.com
firstname@mail.com
also have:
firstname@personaldomain.com
>>53483393
Wrong. There is nothing detrimental to using gmail as long as the actual name is respectable.
