EMAILs

[spilot]

what emails are you all using? some forums do not except hotmail, and yahoo...i never knew that, so i'm just curious

That's all I use is Hotmail and Yahoo for my junk email for signing up at websites and such. Other than those, I use my ISP's email service as my main one.

I use hotmail for forums etc. Sometimes I will signup and use my POP mail account, but keep it hidden in the forum user CP...most of the forums that require a users POP account be available is because of the traders forums. Too many trolls use hotmail and other web based mail services and it is dang near impossible to find these idiots when they screw some member out of something

hotmail for main (not junk, i'm careful with filling out forms and unchecking stuff for 3rd party emails), and pop account for important stuff.

I run my own. It's so much better than getting it from a provider because you have complete control over the email that you get. You can block whatever spam that you get and customize it to fit your needs.

If I'm signing up for something I know that I might get spam from I use Yahoo.

I use a catch all account on my own domain and when I sign up for something online, I use site-name.com@mydomain.com. All of the mail is forwarded to my main address. If I start getting junk, I know exactly who sold my address. I send them a nasty letter and then I set that address to discard all incoming mail. It's really handy to see who is honest with privacy policies

I have three Hotmail and one Yahoo account. I only use my ISP if I have to send a large attachment. Otherwise, I've not used an ISP account for anything for years.

Hotmail is my main personal account. I have a second personal Hotmail account that I use as a "Public Account," such as with boards. I have an MSN Hotmail that's left over from when I had MSN internet. They let me keep it. I like it because it allows me to register on some sites.

I use Yahoo for all purchases. As it is an old account, I get 6mb grandfathered and junk mail doesn't count! Yahoo seems to do a better job of getting confirmations quickly. Besides, it allows me to know where I should be expecting stuff.
