How to choose the right email provider
How to choose the right email provider?
I just wrote a blog above. Just my thoughts, not absolutely correct. Comments welcome Last edited by jeffpan : 8 May 2023 at 03:05 PM. |

mail.yahoo.co.jp: interface available in Japanese only. Not a practical solution for many

I agree mostly. IMHO one of the most important features is automatic spam/junk filtering to protect from the biggest online danger--email phishing and email malware. Gmail has worked great in this regard for me and my family since about 2006 with next to no effort on our parts. Here in the USA Microsoft/Outlook.com is probably the second most popular email provider, but I find their junk filtering to both snag safe emails and not snag unsafe ones. Even the business versions. Email at your own domain can avoid lots of spam/junk problems if you are careful not to spread your domain email except to trusted places, but if you use it for business that is next to impossible. If I were to use my domain email for my business I would probably pay for Google's Workspace just to take advantage of their automatic spam/junk protection. I've found Purelymail is reliable and easy to use for less demanding domain email, and their pricing is great.

On what do you base this, Jeff? Personal experience? Statistical analysis? I've try Free.fr and it's crap. Or to just say something is "great" is no help.

Also my reviews for IT including email have been migrated to a new location.
I did write some articles for email systems, such as this one. https://dnsbed.com/articles-for-inst...il-system.html Wish they have some helps to you. |

GMX.de is rock solid as you write here, but it requires a German address (I think an actual address, not just a German IP address) to be able to open and keep an account. There is the open-to-all gmx.com but that isn't the same. |

1. I in fact have no acct on Mailfence. is it the same system run by Mail.be (ContactOffice)? 2. I got my current/only GMX.de email many years ago, at that time it didn't require an address info. And this old acct got 108GB free cloud storage. |

I was surprised that there are still ISP's that have email addresses. The last one I had was simple POP3, no real storage. This was a dial up service.

such as att.net, verizon.net, comcast.net, earthlink, charter and RCN still have a lot of email users. |
