How to have same list for two people in house using same email

08 Aug 2012 15:26 #1 by Nick Moss
Is this possible? My 8 year old has a list for Western Palearctic, and I want to have one too using same agency.

Obviously it will not let me as it already recognises email address. Perhaps a silly question but is there any way around this? There must be other homes where father and son using same email address want to have a list on Bubo.

Hi Nick

Unfortunately we do need to have unique email addresses, for reasons which I won't bore you with. I'd suggest you get a separate email address for him from gmail, hotmail, yahoo or one of the other free providers - actually I'm a bit surprised an 8 year old doesn't have one already, my 6 year old has had for the past 3 years :)

Alternatively you might be able to have multiple email addresses anyway with your current provider. For example gmail and some other providers allow use of the plus sign to direct multiple addresses to the same mailbox, e.g. me@gmail.com can also use me+you@gmail.com, me+blah@gmail.com.
