Do you think having a free email provider makes a difference?

I mean like yahoo or hotmail? Mainly asking this because I queried an agent and waited over three months before trying again this time using my free yahoo email and guess what? He rejected me in three hours! I have a website I call "Cyber-Soup" and I know some places filter out things with "cyber" in it so I am asking for your POV on this one.

Should I use my domain mail which runs the chance of getting filtered for having cyber in it? Or should I stick to the yahoo one because it's more likely to get through? I have gotten like three rejections on my Cyber-Soup email and two on my yahoo account. So at this point I don't know which is better to use for my agent search.

What do you all think? I know it's hard to find a willing and available agent but the part of me that wants to use my Cyber-Soup email wants to because it is representative of the domain my site is at. What do you think? Stick with my domain or go with the yahoo email? I don't use the ISP email because I don't like outlook...just a personal thing.

That's a thought, I might get a gmail account and see about that, thanks Tia!

Now I have a gmail addy for my name now and I think that I will be using it from now on to query, thanks for the suggestion Tia and I think you're right veinglory, that there are freemail filters set up too. Gmail might not get through to everyone but I bet it's better then yahoo, hotmail or my cyber-soup addy.

If anyone wants an invite to Gmail PM me and I will gladly send one.

I agree that gmail is very easy to use Maprilynne.

This makes my second Gmail addy, exclusively for writing only and the other has to do with a board I help moderate. I think gmail is really cool and I didn't think to make a new addy for writing until Tia suggested it.

Excellent article SpiderGal thanks for sharing it with us.
