What E-mail account should i use? [Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail etc] - Hardware & Software

Hotmail. I've never had any problems.

Gmail is best IMO. I like the UI.

Gmail is working great for me so far. There's just one thing pissing me off. The option to import your contacts and emails from yahoo to gmail. I'm entering my e-mail address and password but it keeps saying that they're invalid. I even logged out of yahoo and signed back in again just to make sure they were right.

I've been using gmail since it'd debuted and it's perfect. As simple or as complex as you want it.

I have 3+ hotmail accounts, I say 3+ because I only ever actively use 3 of them, 1 for personal/main accounts for stuff like steam and such, and 2 others for spam and stupid shit + a gmail account for school and when I don't feel like using my other email. Gotta say gmail is really slick though.

I'll place my vote on Gmail aswell. It was really easy to add my Gmail account on Outlook aswell, really handy (Compared to Hotmail, which needed a seperate plugin that doesn't even work, atleast not for me)

I use Gmail as well. And apparently I signed up early enough (I think sometime back in 2007), because I don't have ads in any way shape or form.

personally I use gmail for my real email stuff, but have a yahoo account to send junkmail to. Yahoo has infinite storage, so if something important were ever sent there, it'd still be there.

Yahoo, only one I've used a lot. Other choices are probably fine too.

[QUOTE=Mooe94;29153313]Is it just me or is Hotmail getting worse by every day? It's like they add features and views you never fucking need and are so fucking annoying you just want to kill everyone at microsoft[/QUOTE] They moved the delete button to the bottom of the screen. Everytime I wanna empty my spam folder manually, I rage hard at it.

Gmail, no spam defintely ! My old hotmail account gets tons of chinese spam mails all the time

Gmails where its at yo

[QUOTE=sopie;29153403]Indeed, that and the fact that hotmail is getting slower aswell, it's HORRIBLY slow if you wanna go from an email back to your inbox.[/QUOTE] It also has random moments of not receiving mail. Usually with attachments.

I use Gmail with a mail client. I think the web UI is bad, but that's just me.

Yahoo blocks the IMAP and the other server which i cannot remember the name of, so basically you can't use email applications, unless you pay a fee. Use GMail IMO it is much better.

I have my own domain, shit's so chill (see avatar) when someone asks for your email and you can say [EMAIL="firstname@fullname.org"]firstname@fullname.org[/EMAIL] (that isn't the address if you were wondering)

I've used Hotmail, Yahoo and gmail, Gmail is by far the best choice you got!

GMail it's the best choice

[QUOTE=Adzter;29221313]Yeah same, you can set one up using a .co.cc domain and google mail[/QUOTE] Or you could just buy a domain, since .co.cc domains sometimes randomly like to disappear for 'checking' when there's nothing bad to check, and then never reappear.

gmail would be fine if they didnt ask for your phone number just to make an account

[QUOTE=Mattk50;29238321]gmail would be fine if they didnt ask for your phone number just to make an account[/QUOTE] They only send you one text, hardly like they're bombarding you with spam, and who doesn't have a phone nowadays

I'm on hotmail, I have a GMail that I use less and less. I want to get my own email attached to my own domain but have no idea how or how much it would cost.

I've always used hotmail, no point in switching as I would have to let every single contact know and change my email on various website logins

[QUOTE=leach139;29153287]Google Mail is fantastic. Consider buying a domain and using that with Google Apps, it's identical to Google Mail except it looks a ton more professional.[/QUOTE] Or just grab the other e-mails in to your GMail account. Then you can send email as either email address.

Although I wasn't asked for mobile number when I registered for Gmail, I put it myself... Thank god I did so, cause that way I could later recover my account, when my password was changed for mysterious reasons after I logged in on my Android for the first time. For the record, apart from recovery code and some calendar notifications, I haven't received a single other message or anything from Google.

[QUOTE=Adzter;29238411]They only send you one text, hardly like they're bombarding you with spam, and who doesn't have a phone nowadays[/QUOTE] my problem is that they store the information which can be used to track you. im always paranoid that when shit hits the fan (and based on current trends in all sectors of everything, it will) people with views against the norm are just going to be plucked off the internet and thrown in a prison somewhere.
