What are the benefits of using those sites?
I’ve heard Yahoo! is good for stock market trading and financial news, but haven’t heard anything else about any of them.
When I hear somebody who has a Yahoo account, I kind of look at them funny and do not send them anything that’s important because if they are likely to use Yahoo, then they probably don’t have very good security practices.
I use both Yahoo and Gmail, but I prefer yahoo because my account is grandfathered in to using disposable email accounts.
And don’t tell me about username+spam@gmail.com because not every website accepts emails with + in them, and any idiot can run a script to strip it off and get your real email address.
I use this feature all the freaking time and Gmail offers nothing close.
I used to use Proton and simple login for this but I now own my own domain so I can use whatever address I want as long as it ends with @mydomain.com
I’m too cheap for this, I guess (proton mail is paid, right?).
I don’t really have a need for my own domain. And anything I want to register seems to be taken anyway. Feels like a bigger decision than picking a tattoo. :D
I like the fact the I’ve got a piece of internet history with my hotmail.com account from 1998. I don’t use it at all, but I keep it alive for shit that needs Microsoft accounts. Can’t remember how many years it has been since I looked at the inbox. I wonder if it is empty or if it has thousands of junk mail in it.
My real inbox is with Mailbox.org
I still use Hotmail because I have a billion accounts linked to it and can’t be arsed to change the address.
Free your mind, start over. You’ll be amazed how muxh things you’d think is essential is actually not. Averagely speaking maybe 5 account mail changes and you should be gokd
My friend, I have to butt in here. Last year I switched from Gmail to Proton, and I have like 130 accounts I had to recreate or switch over. And I still have tons left on Gmail (100+, though many of which are effectively abandoned) so I’m ending up having to use both. Some things don’t let me change emails and it’s a ton of work to recreate them. Like some of my financial accounts or Google and its products, whose ecosystem I am still relatively entrenched in. (Slowly working on getting out of that mud but with a family who is also entrenched, it’s not that easy.) And many more services than those 2 types as well.
I would have loved to just have 5 accounts to chanfe and nothing else.
I changed everything I pay for, anything free/not an hassle to change/recreate I did. You sure are busy online shiiiit
Yahoo brought the company that hosted my email back then when they had plenty of money, and I never had a reason to stop using it.
I also have a gmail, that is completely unusable compared to it. And an email in a domain registered to me. But from those 3, the only one I don’t use regularly is the gmail.
