Email Addresses
It's important that you sign yourself up for a "web based address" as soon as possible.  This is an address that you access through a webpage rather than your Browser.  They are useful to have when you are signing up for something or are otherwise required to give an email address.  If you were to use your Sprint address, you'd find a lot of junk in your mailbox every day...which is a hassle.  I suggest that you both get your own address, so that you don't have to worry about erasing something important etc.  The sites that are listed below both offer these "free for life" email addresses.
Yahoo!Canada

This is a useful place to sign up with because registering for an address provides access to all the other services offered (games etc).   You'll have to come up with a "user name" for this, but pick something other than your real name (this is the name that will appear when you are playing a game for example). When you are asked for your member name and password, this is the name that you will enter. To retrieve your email just visit this page.

Hotmail

A run of the mill email address site.  To retrieve email from hotmail, just visit this webpage.
