E-mail on a transfered domain

[DavidWatters]

Hello everyone,
Signed up yesterday, and everything already seems to be working except for the transferring of the domain, but that's Internic's fault not FQ's...
How long should I wait after the domain's been transferred before it could be called reliable for e-mail and www? I understand that even if it seems to be working for me, not everyone's ISP's will have the new info yet, and I don't want to give out the addresses until I know they really will work.

I would give it two to three weeks to be sure... transfers are never fun

Wow, thanks for replying so quickly, the nice things everyone's been saying in these forums are true! Anyway, I've set Hypermart (where the domain was before) to redirect to a temporary free pop3 account for now, is that going to be a stable enough changeover for e-mail when the domain finally transfers? I think it should be reliable enough to upload a coming soon page to hypermart in the style of the rest newly designed pages which can go here soon.. when I finally finish them..

Sounds like a perfect plan to me

Everything should work out fine for you doing it that way...

Hi, David -- my request for domain transfer was submitted on a Saturday evening. The Internic confirmed the transfer by the following Monday, and I was able to reach my site on FQuest via my domain name by that Tuesday.

In contrast, when I first had the domain transferred to my previous host, it took almost a week before I received a confirmation from the Internic.
