Your email provider

[MasterBlaster]

How many of you use sites like Yahoo, HotMail, Gmail, ect., rather than the email service your ISP provider offers?

 

[RReedy]

I,ve had yahoo since i came online.
Seem to work out fine for my needs.

 

[Paul B]

yup, guilty.
gmail (works for my cell phone email)
hotmail (I have an address, never used it)
bigfoot (dont use it anymore)
hotmail (I think I have one there, dont use it)
my work website I use for work related email (the email is [email protected] and it forwards to my ISP email addy)

likely 80% of my email is via my isp server.

 

[SkwerI]

I have a freebie at MyWay, I use it when I don't want to give out one of my real email addresses. I also use 4 of my 10 allotted email addresses provided by my ISP. I use different emails for different groups of people in my life. One for family, one for online purchases, one for forums, one for banking and related financial stuff.

 

[Paul B]

we have 3 aliases from our ISP, I use one, wife uses one and we have one with both our names in it, like RJS it depends on where the email is headed.

 

[JIML]

I use one from the old isp i don't even use anymore..

 

[Frans]

Shoulda thought more about the poll options, Butch.


I use both for different situations

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, I'm getting the answers I was wanting.

 

[top hopper]

I use the ones that come with my business website.

Although I have a freebie or two, and also have one with my ISP, but dont use them to speak of

 

[Blinky]

I use both. My business account is with my web host provider and my general purpose account is gmail.

 

[squisher]

Hotmail. I'm still a internet outlaw!

 

[NickfromWI]

I have hotmail and yahoo, but mainly use Gmail.

I don't like having email accounts that end in sbcglobal.net or att.net and stuff like that...especially when 3 years later, as has been said, you don't even use that company any more as your isp.

Google has a custom email option, and that's where I get my [email protected] email account. That runs me $10/yr.

[squisher]

How's that work Nick?

 

[NickfromWI]

http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/users/gmail.html I can't remember now, but for $10/yr...it might be $30/yr...but dirt cheap, they host my website and keep the domain registered (Through another outside company) and I can edit the website all I want- though it is basic.

The custom email account looks just like gmail when you are using it, but my clients see it coming from [email protected] instead of some cheapy [email protected] or something like that.

i use yahoo till i recently got my website up, im swapping all business stuff that way but still will keep the yahoo

 

[NeTree]

I've had Yahoo since about 1995 or so. I use them for my webhosting, too.

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

I like using Outlook, and keeping crap in there, so it's ISP for me.

 

[rumination]

Gmail for friends and family, Hotmail for personal business and forums, Yahoo for junk, and work stuff goes to a company email address. Gmail is far and away the best of the bunch.

I have them all going through an email client called Evolution right now. It's similar to Outlook.

 

[BostonBull]

I use Yahoo, and Gmail. Both are also linked to my phone.

 

[vharrison]

I use the one my computer guy set up, from outlook. I only have one, it is all I care to keep up with.

 

[mryb]

Yahoo

 

[GASoline71]

I use my ISP email for yakkin' with family and friends and whatnot... I also have a Yahoo email account. I use it anytime I have to enter my email address when I order something online.

I cuts way down on the spam to my ISP email addy...
