What is the best way to set up an email account for our proto-teen daughter?
John Page
Try ZooBuh, which has versions for small kids and teens (teens.zoobuh.com). This lets you set up incoming and outgoing contacts lists, have mail copied to a parent and remove images and links from incoming mail. After 30 days, it costs $1 per month per child.
An alternative is KidMail (kidmail.net), which recommends IncrediMail (incredimail.com) for older children (ages 9-12). IncrediMail offers lots of elaborate graphics and sound effects but requires a Windows software download and is paid for by advertising.
Yahoo also offers Family Accounts that can include children under 13.
