Moderators rridgely Posted December 4, 2006 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2006 Depends on what I'm doing. If its for signing up for stuff I use one of my yahoo emails. If its for speaking to people/helping people on the internet I give them my main yahoo account, and if its for real life friends/school I use my gmail.

Sniper Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have my Gmail forwarded to my ISP account so I can check both at the same time. I also have a Yahoo account, Email.com, Hotmail, and 2 with Mail2world.com. I use Gmail mostly for web sites and the ISP for personal stuff. Some sites that require your email address, will not accept an address from a free webmail account like Yahoo or Hotmail. That's where Mail2world comes in handy. They let you make up your own domain name and it gets past the webmail filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted December 4, 2006 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2006 I've been using one web-based email account for I think roughly four years now it's Opera Mail which doesn't get anywhere near the spam I was dealing with on Hotmail ("SpamMail"). The only annoyance with Opera Mail is that every now and then it displays a page to upgrade to the premium version, but since I don't use email all that often maybe once per month it's only a minor annoyance, but if I used it everyday I would've already switched to something else. Oh yeah I've been through several ISP's AOL, Juno, AT&T (now MediaCom), InterLink, Netscape, and now Qwest and I've only used the email accounts they provided just for support issues. Netscape was the worst for feeling up the email inbox with useless s**t and promos I could care less about, and I doubt I'll ever log into my Qwest email since I hate the provider they use which is MSN Hotmail ("SpamMail").

Humpty Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yahoo for signups. OE and my ISP for personal. Funny thing is I get more spam through my ISP account than Yahoo.Probably due to "spam dictionary attacks". Still this spam never gets on to my puter as Palmail shows what mail is at my server and deletes what I select. Then I open OE to retrieve any wanted mail.

mps69_1999 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I've got one gmail account (web based) for everyday use, and a yahoo account for spam and sign up stuff. I just sign up for a hotmail account, but only cause I wanted to use an IM. My Webpage Googletalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted December 4, 2006 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2006 Have one at opera but after sending 2 test mails to a family member, have recieved 2 spam mails already. Will not be using this account again. They now have a report spam button in the email system, although I haven't used it yet as my filters I typed into it pretty much stop most spam and only 1-3 get through about once per month. Actually come to think of it I haven't had a spam email through Opera Mail for several months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 My email situation has changed over a few months. Now I use my hotmail as my junk email account (e.g. when I sign up for things.). My gmail is my regular account. Then I have my university account that I have to use too. I actually have 2 gmail accounts. My gmails and university email are forwarded to my phone as text messeges so that I receive those right away, so I don't need Outlook or Thunderbird anymore.

lokoike Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I use my Gmail account for almost everything. I upgraded to them from Yahoo! because they seemed to be the better free email account in almost every category. I have an ISP account, but I never check it because it's set to forward all messages to my Gmail account. I use my Yahoo! account for garbage mail and a few newsletters I signed up for eons ago. I check the Yahoo! account maybe every other week. I do like some things about Yahoo!'s new interface (they set it up sort of like MS Outlook), but it still doesn't compare to my Gmail account in features, like custom filters (I use those alot!). Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

Admiral Ross Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have way too many and in the process of phasing some of them out. 1 x MSN, 3 x Y!, 1 x Charter (ISP), 1 x (Website), 1 x Gmail. Now the MSN one I don't use, 3 Yahoos will be cut down to 1 in the near future. My ISP email I don't use. My website one, I get very lil traffic on it and the same for my Gmail. Being a IT Professional you have to have a way for clients to get a hold of you so that explains some of the reasons why I have so many emails.

Moderators rridgely Posted December 4, 2006 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2006 Cowboy if your having problems with outlook express I suggest you take their offer up on that gmail account.

Glenn Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 My ISP allows me up to 10 e-mail accounts at any one time so I regularly use 3 for various purposes and sometimes create a temporary for registrations, etc. All 3 long therm accounts download automatically into Outlook so I don't have to check them separately.
