I heard back, but he seemed to be under the impression emails were getting caught in spam folders. So I replied and told him that definitely wasn't happening with me as I had already checked at the online server. That's all I know right now.
And speaking of emails - if anyone is interested in doing a little photography work but not looking to use a personal email address, there is a site called
mail.com that offers a variety of extensions. For example you can have
[email protected] or use the drop down menu and choose something else such as
[email protected]. At least it might come across as being a little more professional than a gmail or yahoo address. Not only is it free, but if there is any spam, a daily email is sent as a notification. That way people know right away if something is caught in a spam folder.
