the answer is no, anyone can change/open new email accounts at any time and there is no directory to search. with my service provider i can have as many accounts as i want at no cost Roy

Claire, If your friend has not answered your email's it could just be that they no longer use the internet or not that often? If your emails are not being returned as unknown recipient then the mail account still exists, try marking your email with a read reciept, then if your friend just does not want to answer you, at least you will know that is the case as you will get a email back telling you that the mail you sent has been opened.

Thanks Roy. It isn't being bounced back. Perhaps he doesn't want to speak to me! I'll try the receipt thingy. Ta. Claire xx
