yahoomail that have 1tb storage for lifetime free

 

[HoNeYBiRD]

Nope.

Back then when i created my first email address, Gmail didn't even exist. I started out with Yahoo, then when Gmail appeared, i switched to it soon. I think, it still had an invite-only system.

Since then regardless that due to our line of work, we use many different email providers to register accounts etc., even more obscure ones, i never felt the need to change to something else.

Recently time I using email on my domain/server.

Gmail has bad spam filters and he can block good messages.

Outlook, however, been debating lately should I just move to gmail.
I am pretty annoyed with the constant "QoL" updated by Microsoft which isn't really QoL.
For example, I like remembering things by placement and shifting things around is just not good for business.
Example, this dumb bar wasn't on the side before.

What makes you stick with outlook ?

 

[TheGreyMatter]

For privacy reasons, some people prefer proton.

For fancy reasons, some people prefer HEY.

No. I prefer gmail.

I have self-hosted emails, gmails, hotmails/outlooks, yahoos, mail.coms, mail.rus, reddiffmails, gmx.coms, zoho mails, aol mails, yandex mails.

So I have emails all over the place. But they all forward to my 1 main gmail

Well, no, I lie. They all forward to my 1 main self-hosted email, and then that one forwards everything to my gmail. I implemented this little detour when Google once suspended my entire main Google account, and I lost everything.

After a few days they restored my account, but it put a scare in me because if I use Gmail as my mail email and Google/Gmail bans me, I'll have a massive problem on my hands. I mean, I'll probably lose money, lose accounts, lose tons of time, it's gonna be hell.

So then I registered a .com in my name, and made that domain's email as my main email address. But I still prefer Gmail's interface to use for my emails, so I just forward all mail from all the email accounts that I own to my 1 self-hosted email address, and I forward everything from that one to my 1 main Gmail account. It works

p.s some email providers don't allow you to forward mail, such as aol and I believe mail.com, and even yahoo as of last year. So I just don't use those for anything that may require me to receive and see an email in a timely fashion

What makes you stick with outlook ?

Two main reasons actually, It has just something I been with for decades now.

It's just something I am super familiar to, & to make it better, my work uses Outlook too.

Second reason is, I at time feel that Outlook is more "Feature rich" and more customizable than gmail.
For example, their 10 alias email feature, something even icloud has but not strangely not gmail unless you buy workspace.

Ahhh, the alias email feature, I love that feature

I have to say, Hotmail was the first email address I ever created, like 15+ years ago. Way before any IM stuff or whatever. Like for personal use. So there's a special place in my heart for Hotmail/Outlook

Same, that alias feature is godsent.

Same, that alias feature is godsent.

Let's see... 20 outlooks x 10 = 200 emails?

hot Hot HOT!

Exactly, and you technically only handle "20 outlook accounts"
and only need to "PV" 20 accounts
