Simple E-mail addresses are easy to remember..
dip_open-heart44562@gmail.com... Look at this email addresses. You read it once and is likely to forget it really soon. Consider this frankhardy@gmail.com... You will probably remember this for ever. When you create a email address name it with your own name and try to avoid underscores, fullstops and numbers if possible. That way your friends can easily remind your email addresses. If your name is not available add a two digit number at the end.
People will easily forget the placing of the dots and the underscores. But they will never forget your name. The two digit number at the end is also not hard to remember.
There is one added advantage if you choose simple email addresses without fullstops and underscores.. You can tell that to anyone really fast. Try telling the e-mail address I have added at the beginning of this post. Compare that with the second one...
So that is what MillionClues recommends...
