first option updated
Hotmail as it used to ceases to exist, just legacy hotmail accounts
You can still create hotmail accounts I think.
the official email of foreigners and poor people
Where is the option for Gmail via the grandfathered free Google Workspace (Formerly Google Apps for Your Domain). I wish I registered more domains with it.
Still using mine too - but they cripple access to so many aspects of a Google account under Workspace - e.g. family sharing etc.
I was very disappointed to find since they forced me to switch to the free workspace that I can no longer do google opinion rewards.
Still not as bad as when they had simply planned to shaft us before the backlash.
Mail (Apple), not the same as iCloud Mail
Zoho with custom domains. At $18py it's great value and I've got a few mail boxes. Couple this with Simple Login or addy.io and you're pretty much sorted.
Support can be haphazard but to be honest, it's rare you need it.
I've been using Zoho for my business email for 8 years now and can't fault it
@hotmail.com addresses are vintage
Years ago I closed MSN Messenger for the last time without even realising it.
Ikr, Skype just didn't have the same vibe/feel as MSN Messenger
Could Google Workspace (previously known as G Suite) be added? Kinda difference vs a Free Gmail account.
I am using Australia Post.
2 factor authentication takes around 7-10 business days…
I use carrier pigeon.
RFC 1149 Nice.
If you don't input the passcode on the bird in 60 seconds it flies away.
And only on a Tuesday or Thursday.
This is OZB, we are geekier than average, you should let us choose multiple answers. I've got them all except Yahoo, and I've got more.
Yahoo7 ride or die club
how do i do that :P
When you create the poll I think there's an option.
but they all do it apart from Proton Mail
As far as you know…. They are still required to follow the law which might mean them reading it etc as required to comply :)
Which is why if you care about that sort of thing you're encrypting before you send.
Proton is probably the best option we have at the moment for security and privacy.
That's what they said about An0m
Proton and tutanota
I have a Hotmail account that is so old it still uses four letter password.
Ironically, this might make it more secure because I figure no one is going to try and hack it using a password of that length, so I've never updated it.
ozemail
ISP (which I should change because may need to churn soon)
and hotmail
and gmail on phone
.
Ooft, never go with the ISP mail. Forces you to stay with them regardless of your life circumstances or quality of service
You're gonna want to change this sooner rather than later with the ISP email. As ISP's is around the world and including ones here have started to phase it out.
I have multiple - gmail, exchange, own and Outlook all coming into Outlook. 🤷♀️
I know this is insane but my daily driver is still AOL (with Mail and iCloud as my less and more secure options)
You've got mail!
I've been using mail.com since is it was email.com in 1996
Back then, my username was taken at Hotmail, so I looked for a free alternative.
I've been using the same password the whole time
Prior to that, my email was [email protected]
I’ve got Gmail and Microsoft but I use Edison on iPhone and Windows laptop.
Nobody using FastMail? Australian company.
In Straya the term 'Fast Mail' is considered an oxymoron or redundant.
Fast Male, is a medical condition (apparently)
No multiple options and no option for owning your own domain and renting a server for email.
Boo. Boo and hiss and boo again!
OP hasn't yet acknowledged we all use a variety of clients, providers & hosts
I use the same hotmail account i created in year 8. 60k+ unread emails.
Spark by Readdle and Outlook
I'm still using yahoo mail since it first began and it still has the number 69 in the address 25yrs later.
God bless my juvenile mind.
Why no AOL options
Why no BIGPOND options
Don't all these suckers even know about Bigpond email? It comes free with the best ISP in the universe!
Other.
I use infomaniak, $2.5/month. It is a large company.
My primary mail is runbox, which is located physically in Norway and costs me a small amount, with proton in Switzerland as a free backup.
I do it because:
1. I don't want to lose my email address every time I change ISP,
2. both runbox and proton are accessed from an encrypted browser session, not an email client, so I can access my mail from any computer, they archive whatever emails I want to keep, I don't have to do that, and my emails are "read" in a sandbox on their computer not mine so my computer is protected against any embedded malware,
3. they both provide legal privacy, so I ever want to send an email I don't want to be traceable, they are both out of reach of the Australian legal system,
4. runbox lets me create and dispose of alias email addresses that all direct back to my primary email address and
5. runbox is small enough that you have access to the experts who created and run it when you need support.so how is it different than gmail again?
Why would you want an email to be untraceable? Why not just use a dummy account for that?
I've never come across people that use y7mail.com
I might be the only one.
Why no Hotmail option?
