E-Mail Providers

Recommended Posts

I've been wanting to join the official P!nk fansite, but when I go to register it will not allow many of the popular e-mail providers register because I guess they get a lot of spam bots. My question is, what are some other trust-worthy e-mail providers?

 

The one's that I've tried so far that do NOT work:

AOL

Hotmail

Gmail

MSN

Yahoo.

 

Thankyouu.

That's rather short-sighted, as Yahoo offers premium, paid e-mail services as well as the freebie.

The only one that it makes the least bit of sense to block there is hotmail - as for the others, they're losing a huge chunk of users right there.

 

Mailinator.com might work.

Why?

Hotmail is quite common with spammers and idiots (no offence if you have one).

If you click on them they hatch or grow up faster and look awesomer!!!

87.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot. If you're one of the 42% of statistics that doesn't, copy and paste this into your sig. In addition, 126.324% of the previous statement does not make sense.

So is Gmail and Yahoo, no?

They are common with spammers, but from what I've seen not near the volume of the spammers using hotmail. I think it's mostly due to them being much more on the ball with that sort of thing.

 

At any rate, I've had my hotmail for years, and as a result it's all over the internet. I get up to 30 spam messages a day, and I've never seen any from gmail, only a few from yahoo. The huge majority are from hotmail or other sites.

I have both a Hotmail and a Gmail account, had the Hotmail one for 6 years now and I don't get much spam. Wonder why.

Oh, I use the hotmail deliberately for most online registrations - sending the spam there deliberately. My point was not that I get a lot of spam - it's that much of the spam comes from other hotmail accounts.

In addition to other reasons that Y_guy explained, Hotmail is horribly insecure and very easily bruteforced. I would not use it for anything you'd want to keep private.
