[Michlib-l] email with no phone

[Kelli Perkins]

Agreed with the other library. We searched and recommend mail.com or the owning company www.gmx.com. We tried them and you can truly create an account without a cell phone--so handy for our patrons.

ok- so I just tried again and gmail let me create an account with no
phone.  Before, we were stuck in a continuous loop on both gmail and
yahoo.  I promise I had all of my t's crossed and i's dotted.
Nevermind, everyone.
