How did you create an AB account without an email address?

[bluemoon1]

I know but they all require an email address to confirm my application

There are (literally) thousands of free email service providers. I'd recommend choosing a service which can be accessed either through a web browser or by using a proper email client (such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Windows 8 Mail or Thunderbird). The best known of those (as suggested by Sandy) is Google's Gmail:
http://mail.google.com/?hl=en
(Just click 'Create an Account', at the top right corner, and follow the instructions).

However my own preference is to use the excellent service provided by GMX:
http://www.gmx.co.uk/
(Simply click 'Get your free GMX account', at the top of the screen).

GMX invites you to enter another email address (so that you can retrieve your password for your GMX account if you forget it) but it's not essential. [You could always enter a fake address anyway].

"How can I get an email account if I dont already have one. "

What do you mean by if you don't already have one? You had to have an email account to register on AnswerBank.

I see that both Hotmail and Yahoo have been suggested. I wouldn't touch either of them with the proverbial bargepole. (I've had several Hotmail accounts which have suddenly stopped working and there have been loads of posts here from people who've experienced similar problems. Yahoo has an equally poor reputation).

I am on a friends pc and they have just bought it, they have wifi so can access the net. The account I am using is my own account because I have email, but we live miles apart so I can't accept it for them.
