10. What is a Free Spirit?
We could all probably identify as Free Spirits at heart – living life with an inner sense of freedom and flight. However, we at ExpatWomen.com have dedicated our Free Spirits section to women who are typically more mature, no longer need to work full-time, and who do not strongly identify themselves in our other Women categories.

ExpatWomen’s Free Spirits are women who genuinely have the time, resources and capacity to travel the world at will, for the pure pleasure that it brings, without any study, work or parental responsibilities limiting their experiences

18. What are the Benefits of using PayPal?

Dear Expat Women Newsletter Subscribers,

We want to ensure that you are able to receive our monthly newsletter and so are requesting that you add admin@expatwomen.com  to Your White List.

(We recently added our own anti-spam measures on most of our email accounts. If you send us an email, all you will be required to do is hit reply to an email you receive to confirm that you are a real person and not a spam bot!)


Add us to your White List

Unsolicited, unwanted emails, fake newsletters, and lots of advertising emails are commonly known as "Spam". Spam has become a huge problem for those of us with email accounts. It's reached such proportions that most email services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or have begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell try to tell the good guys from the bad and filter out a lot of this "Junk".

This has also caused us a huge problem in that many of you use ISP's or email providers such a Yahoo, who auto send our replies to you, or our newsletters to the junk folder-and you don't see them. Even when we receive an enquiry email from you asking where your is newsletter when we reply, this also ends up in your junk folder and you don't receive this either!

But there is a solution. Add admin@expatwomen.com to your White List now, before your delivery is interrupted in any way.

Of course, every email system is different, so check your email software's HELP file. You can also contact your ISP's customer service support for their specific instructions. Many provide tutorial that will make life easy for you to achieve the task of White Listing email by providing you with step by step instructions for achieving this.

Many popular email programs, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc., don't provide a convenient way for you to White List the email sources that you want to receive email from.  Normally you can go into the SPAM or JUNK folder, find the email, and right mouse click on it to add it to your list of secure emails.

It is best to contact customer service or the Postmaster at the company that provides your email or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that email from ExpatWomen.com is mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can White List the email address for you.

They'll probably ask you for some information:

Sending Address: admin@expatwomen.com
Domain:  @expatwomen.com
