For some unexplained reason the cookie that allows me access to one particular website has disappeared from my desktop. I'm still able to access it from my laptop. Is it possible to transfer the cookie from one to another, and more importantly would it still work?
(Background - due to a change of ISP I can't use the original email address to ask for a new password!)

Thanks for prompt reply Stuart

Stuartli has answerd the question but get yourself a Hotmail / Gmail / Yahoo Mail account and change ISP without losing your email account.

Not as easy as that, unfortunately. A number of websites won't accept the "popular" email addresses to deter spamming, etc.

I suspect Tooslow meant use a 'popular' address from this day forward, so any sites you contact from now on only have that address for you.

IIRC the pilots site PPRUNE suspended hotmail and similar registrations for a period in the early noughties.

I was on moneysavingexpert a couple of days ago and there was a lot of warnings on there about trolls.
It gave the impression they have quite a problem with trolling.
Busy place, they claim to get the word equivalent of three paperback novels posted every day.
Must be hard to keep track of who is who.

Football365 - University or company websites only - difficult to ban people otherwise. Any problems they can contact university or company; free accounts somebody just opens a new a/c

How about "@fsmail.com" from Orange, or even better "@waitrose.com" - is that good enough?

Plenty other ISP accounts available like that.

Many companies with paperless billing will not allow hotmail as an example. Once you have created the account you change the email address used but the login will remain as the original email address.

I've used hotmail for my paperless billing, but I was a paper customer in the first place.

Don't blame them really. One of the decisions we made with our own online shop was to not ship to people with
- mobile phone contact
- "popular" email address
